Almost half of obstetrics and gynaecology trainees have deliberated throwing in the towel, with almost one in five revealing they feel depressed most of the time.
The findings come from a RANZCOG survey of 231 trainees, most of whom had graduated six years earlier.
It shows more than half (55%) have a high or very high rate of burnout, with almost two-thirds (62%) rating their workplace as highly stressful.
