Casualties of residency training: a national study of loss and attrition.
Little information is available on the number of physicians in training who leave their residency or otherwise drop out of the profession during these years. We report on a recently completed (1987) national survey of residency program directors documenting the number of people who withdraw or are dismissed from residency and their reasons for leaving.
