Residency Work Hours
In the four years since the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) began enforcing work rules for medical residents, it has expanded its enforcement efforts and egregious abuse of residents seems to have ended. Its annual report reveals that on one hand hospitals are not 100% in compliance and that the work rules have had an impact.
To have a better idea about either how your hospital fares if you already are a resident or what you can expect if you are in medical school or considering a career in medicine, please see "The ACGME’s Approach to Limit Resident Duty Hours 2006-07: A Summary of Achievements for the Fourth Year under the Common Requirements."
