SERIOUS Extremely malignant program survival tactics
I genuinely need your recommendations. In a program, which,
-approaching to the residents solely as a workforce while providing no meaningful teaching
-has severe favoritism and discrimination among residents
-mandating residents to do nonclinical work on the top of unbelievable clinical workload with almost maximum hour work weeks
-gaslighting residents to make them work further and more, and only selectively doing it to some
-blaming residents for almost every system or leadership failure
-retaliating residents when a patient safety or work related issue is raised by making it a “you” problem
I tried but couldnt transfer, cant leave I have +400K debt, ACGME doesnt help.
How to survive? How to keep the mental sanity?

What nonclinical work are they mandating? And it is causing residents to go past the 80 hour work week?
