The R.O.A.D. confirmed: ratings of specialties' lifestyles by fourth-year US medical students with a military service obligation
The R.O.A.D. specialties (radiology, ophthalmology, anesthesia, and dermatology) are the top specialties with respect to lifestyle as viewed by current students. Students perceive their own specialty's lifestyle realistically. Research determining why a specialty perceived as having a lower-rated lifestyle is acceptable to some students and not others is needed.

The study results, which are published online in Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing, were collected using data from an online survey completed by 212 national residency program directors.

These findings imply that the culture of safety in surgical residency programs may be lacking. PSNet
