Student loan debt predicts burnout

From “Predictors Between the Subcomponents of Burnout Among Radiology Trainees” by Le et al. in JACR.

 

 

In summary:

Debt level < $200,000 was associated with lower [emotional exhaustion] scores among upper-level trainees and was the only predictor of burnout that significantly affected multiple years of training.

I suspect there is a dose-response above that debt level as well.

Uncertainty breeds despair. Make sure you develop a student loan action plan.
