The paper presents the study of the burnout syndrome of medical residents at the postgraduate stage. The author has analyzed the sampling of 68 respondents (33 surgery residents and 35 resident physicians) according to the identified symptoms and phases of burnout syndrome to determine the mean and standard deviations from the mean. The comparative analysis considered the current and dominating symptoms following the exhaustion phase. The study was the first to discover the degree of formedness of burnout syndrome phases and to reveal incidence of formedness phases among medical residents. A developed stage of the resistance phase has been seen in the third of subjects, and the seventh of subjects demonstrated a developed stage of exhaustion phase; which indicates that the subjects suffer from psychological problems. Causes of young clinicians’ psychological problems have been considered.
