What this trial studies

This study examines how meetings between patients who were admitted to the ICU and the physicians who cared for them affect the doctors' professional fulfillment and burnout levels. Residents will be randomly assigned to either participate in these encounters or serve as a control group. The goal is to establish longitudinal relationships between critical care providers and ICU survivors, assessing the impact on the physicians' perceptions of their work and overall well-being.
