For Residents

Duty hours: Where do we go from here?

In the March issue of the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, two articles explore the effects that limiting resident physician duty hours have had on the learning environment and patient care.

These articles will prompt discussion among resident physicians and their faculty and evoke memories for those who completed residency training in an earlier era. To read more on the discussion, read the March edition of the AMA's GME e-letter or access the articles at the Mayo Clinic Proceedings website.
