Description This study aimed to analyze the working and training environment of residents in South Korea before and after the implementation of the Medical Resident Act in 2017. Although this Act was enacted in December 2015, there was a grace period for enforcement. An annual cross-sectional voluntary survey was conducted by the Korean Intern Resident Association (KIRA) between 2016 and 2019. The learning and working environment, including extended shift length, rest time, learning goals, and job satisfaction, were compared by institution type, training year, and specialty. Survey questionnaires were dispatched to the subjects through email. Subjects responded on the website provided by the KIRA. The same questionnaire items were used each year.
