Key insights from our presentation:
➤ Overall, emotional exhaustion and cynicism increase throughout medical education—especially among specialist residents.

➤ Work-home conflict and workload are key drivers, while a sense of meaningfulness in work offers strong protection.

➤ Neuroticism and perfectionism also plays a role, correlating with both exhaustion and engagement.

➤ Individual-focused solutions like soft skills training have value, but they’re not enough. Lasting change demands structural and organisational interventions.

Looking forward to continued dialogue and collaboration on building healthier learning environments in medicine.
