First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study surveys 100 surgeons who took part in a student research and practice club at Sechenov University over 20 years. Researchers measure burnout using a standard questionnaire and look at how club involvement relates to career outcomes like becoming a department head or continuing research. The goal is to understand whether early hands-on research activities help surgeons build resilience and professional success.
