Abstract
Depression among physicians has significant personal and professional implications. Exposure to stressful work environments is hypothesized to trigger depression.1 Intensity of training, long work hours, and high levels of persistent mistreatment may put surgical interns at particularly high risk.2 We present herein estimates of new-onset depression among surgical interns.Keywords
