Capsule commentary on garg et al., resident duty hours: A survey of internal medicine program directors

摘要

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) implemented new Common Program Requirements in 2011 that regulate resident duty hours, updated from 2003. The new regulations aim to achieve greater safety and quality for patients under residents' care and promote a learning environment in which physicians can engage in a healing relationship with their patients. Garg et al. explored perceptions of the duty hour requirements in a national sample of Internal Medicine Program Directors (IMPDs) 1 year after implementation.
