Abstract
In 2003, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education implemented the 80-hour work week for all US residents. One of the perceived potential benefits of this duty-hour restriction was an increase in the time available for residents to read and strengthen clinical knowledge, participate in educational activities, and prepare for standardized examinations.1Keywords
