Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22. Three questions were added related to hospital factors but scored separately. Students t-test and chi square test were used to compare the burnout. Results: A total of 227 participants including 177 PGR and 50 JC completed the questionnaire with a response rate of 84% and 86% respectively. There was a female predominance, 140 participants (61.7%) were female. Majority was from pediatric medicine 173 (76.2%). The mean personal and work related-burnout was high among PGRs as compared to JCs (18.68±5.01 vs 16.62±4.57) (p=0.008) and (21.14±5.57 vs. 18.56±5.52) (p=0.004) respectively. Similarly, there was significantly more burnout among pediatric medicine study participants as compared to surgery and diagnostic in all domains (personal BO; p=0.030, work-related BO; p=0.021, patient related BO; 0.033 and hospital related BO; 0.001).
