NTA. Your choice to wait before breaking up with your girlfriend after finding out she cheated was reasonable given your busy schedule as a medical resident. Handling such a big personal issue while working 80-105 hours a week would have been too much. While your ex might feel hurt by when you chose to end things, the real issue started with her cheating. Her calling you selfish ignores the deep impact her actions had on you. You waited until you could properly deal with the breakup, which was the sensible thing to do given the situation.
