Description
Marisa Iborra and co-authors surveyed gastroenterology trainees across Spain about their training, skill gaps, and well-being, on behalf of the national society SEPD. Their 2026 cross-sectional survey drew 241 anonymous responses from residents and specialists within five years of finishing, most training in university and tertiary hospitals. Respondents rated satisfaction and named weak areas on five-point scales, and the team modeled which working conditions were associated with burnout, a major concern in medical training.
Overall satisfaction scored 3.99 out of 5, with practical training rated 4.25 but theoretical teaching only 3.30 in the survey results. The most requested reinforcements were clinical nutrition, digestive ultrasound, and endoscopy, each named by roughly a quarter of respondents. Burnout was reported by 63.5 percent of respondents, a strikingly high share. Inadequate rest strongly raised burnout risk, while satisfaction with working conditions protected against it. Nearly nine in ten wanted an extra training year.
