Panacea Financial Releases 2025 Residents & Fellows Survey Report
Panacea Financial has released its 2025 Residents & Fellows Survey Report. The findings, they report, are important for anyone who works closely with doctors-in-training.
Each year, the Panacea team asks residents and fellows to share their honest perspectives on finances, career readiness, and well-being. This year’s report paints a clear picture: while some areas are improving, the financial and emotional toll of training remains heavy.
A few key stats that stood out:
- 75% of trainees say student loan debt is a major source of stress—up from just 49% last year
- More than half rate their financial stress 8 or higher on a 10-point scale
- Pediatrics, family medicine, OB-GYN, and general surgery report the highest burnout
- Meanwhile, radiology, emergency medicine, and orthopedic surgery trainees feel most career-ready
- 22% of family medicine residents say they want to open their own practice
