For decades, residents believed to work harder have been referred to as having a ‘black cloud’. Residency training programmes recently instituted changes to improve physician wellness and achieve comparable clinical workload. All Internal Medicine residents in the internship class of 2014 at Columbia were surveyed to assess for the ongoing presence of ‘black cloud’ trainees. While some residents are still thought to have this designation, they did not have a greater workload when compared to their peers.
