What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, prospective cohort study of general internal medicine residents in Switzerland. It follows residents who provide direct patient care across several hospitals to track well-being, mental and physical health, work-life balance, and career trajectories over time. The study will collect longitudinal data to explore links between well-being measures and eventual specialty choices, retention, and practice patterns. No interventions are described; the project observes natural experiences and outcomes to identify associations. Participation requires informed consent and ongoing engagement from residents at participating centers.
