Writing away burnout? study for PA students pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT06000488
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to test whether a guided reflective writing program could reduce burnout in physician assistant students at Yale. The plan was to have students attend three 75-minute writing workshops and measure changes in burnout using a standard questionnaire. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
