Perspectives on Quiet Quitting in Family Medicine Residency Programs.
Article in Family medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesQuiet quitting, or doing only the minimum work necessary for one's job, is a phenomenon in the work environment that has been discussed widely in popular media but only recently referenced in academic literature and not formally examined in the context of residency education. This study examined the concept of quiet quitting in residency education, gathering perspectives from leaders in family medicine residency programs.
methodsQuiet quitting and similar concepts were presented at a workshop at the 2024 Residency Leadership Summit hosted by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Participant responses were collected during the workshop from approximately 250 attendees to gather perspectives on and experiences with these behaviors in their residency programs. Investigators independently coded responses using thematic analysis.
resultsResponses from 215 participants (approximate response rate=86%) identified disengagement, professionalism concerns, and strategic time usage as quiet quitting behaviors in residency. Contributing factors to quiet quitting reflected generational shift in work values, systemic issues, faculty modeling, and lack of training or work experience. Identified consequences were primarily negative and related to decreased physician competence and poorer quality of patient care. Proposed interventions included making systemic changes, establishing clear expectations and consequences, and bolstering well-being and resilience.
conclusionsThis study provides residency leadership perspectives on quiet quitting in family medicine residency programs. Given the potential for negative consequences of quiet quitting on physician competence and patient care, developing a shared understanding of this phenomenon within residency education is important.
