Suicide Among Resident Physicians
About this episode
The episode discusses the issue of suicide among resident physicians and reflects on a related research paper.
Every once in a while, science authors will crank out a paper that answers some questions, but asks so many more. I’ve been talking, writing, and podcasting about physician suicide longer than most other topics in my creative life. I did a whole award-winning series as a Rudin Master Scholar in Ethics and Humanities, which no one noticed. Including podcasts like these: and this… and this… Today’s podcast is instead of a written column. Feel free to listen. The paper it’s about is here: Causes of Death Among US Medical Residents It was published on May 14, 2025. Please read it, listen to the podcast, and share with your world. It’s a challenging path, that of physicians, and we should consider making it less miserable, for all our sakes. This is a public episode.
