We examined the financial, working, and educational environment of resident physicians, using mail surveys of residents conducted in 1979 and 1983. Variables examined include annual residency salary, fringe benefits, educational debt, moonlighting income, hours and types of work, and perceived problems with the residency programs. Three conclusions are drawn from the surveys. First, the rapid increases in resident salaries prevalent in the late 1960s and early 1970s have been replaced by more modest advances. Second, resident physicians are not indicating great concern about their current financial status. Third, resident physicians work long hours, but teaching hospitals have not increased their use of residents. These findings illustrate the dual nature of residency training: residents are both students and employees.
我们利用1979年和1983年对住院医师进行的邮寄调查，研究了住院医师的财务、工作和教育环境。所考察的变量包括年度住院医师薪资、附加福利、教育债务、兼职收入、工作时长和类型，以及对住院医师培训项目的感知问题。从这些调查中得出了三个结论。第一，20世纪60年代末和70年代初普遍存在的住院医师薪资快速增长已被更为适度的增长所取代。第二，住院医师并未对他们当前的财务状况表现出极大担忧。第三，住院医师工作时长很长，但教学医院并未增加对住院医师的使用。这些发现说明了住院医师培训的双重性质：住院医师既是学生又是雇员。
