Background: Residency training is well-known to be an arduous life event - especially in neurosurgery. The Maslach Burnout Index (MBI) is the gold standard for assessing burnout while the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) identifies the relative importance of stressors. The purpose of this study is to quantify resident wellness using two validated instruments (MBI and PSS). Methods: The MBI and PSS were anonymously administered to all residents. Scores were compiled and analyzed. Freeform data was collected to identify areas for intervention. Results: Completion rate was 8/9 residents. Baseline scores showed 71% had at least moderately low personal accomplishment, 86% at least moderate emotional exhaustion, and 71% at least moderate depersonalization. 86% had above average perceived stress. Areas for improvement included call room conditions, increased social events, and study resource funding. Conclusions: Most residents are objectively experiencing low personal accomplishment, above average emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and above average perceived stress. Assessments will characterize temporal trends, identify avenues for wellness improvement, and be correlated with interventions.
