This month’s Data in Brief explores why residency and fellowship training program administrators work overtime, based on APDIM Residency and Fellowship Program Administration (PA) Annual Survey results. Most PAs work beyond their regular hours at least some of the time. Among 12 reasons as to why, several correlated with each other into five “domains.” The most prevalent was “Cyclical nature of the job and being required to attend program meetings/events outside work hours” (82.5%). This finding was consistent between PAs who are salaried and hourly.
