The impact of physician burnout is becoming apparent in the medical community, especially among anesthesiologists and young physicians. Anesthesia residents will experience emotionally charged adverse events during their training. The objective was to determine the prevalence, efficacy and utilization of support structures in place for residents following adverse events in order to develop a best-practices model of resident support. ⋯ These data suggest that a best-practices model of resident support entails establishing a department-based support program, facilitating comfortable meetings with departmental leadership and optimizing M&M conference.
