NATIONAL RESIDENT SURVEY
RDoC conducts regular membership surveys to help support our policy development and advocacy efforts. Information obtained through these surveys allows us to effectively advocate for improved post-graduate training in Canada, both directly through the work of our organization and indirectly by sharing the knowledge obtained through publication and other educational forums.
RDoC distributed this iteration of the survey in April 2018. Issues examined included issues including: competency-based medical education (CBME), transition to practice, work-life balance, fatigue risk management, and intimidation and harassment.
