Two-hundred residents from major departments in our medical faculty were included to the study and filled out the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI): 109 from internal medicine, 47 from surgery, 20 from basic science, 24 from emergency medicine.Data was collected in 5 days with the help of 5 medical students assigned to reach the residents.

Recommendations to reduce burnout was given in table 1.
