One is too many
Individual factors (that may be non-modifiable), including being single and LGBTQ+ status, as well as modifiable aspects of the learning environment (frequent duty hours violations, program emphasis on blame over learning after adverse events, lack of meaning in work) were found to be associated with suicidality in general surgery residents. Systemic improvement may be possible with interventions and changes at the program level.
