  • Burnout showed a significant inverse correlation with Grit Score.
  • Women surgeons reported higher rates of burnout than male surgeons.

    • Conclusions:

    • Women in surgery demonstrate grit comparable to their male colleagues.
    • Grit should not be a barrier for women entering or continuing in surgical professions.
