In 2003, the ACGME, the accrediting body for residencies, created limits on how much residents could be required to work.
80 hours a week, a maximum of 28 hours of continuous duty per shift, at least 8 hours off between shifts, and a mandatory 4 days off a month.
When you say it out loud, it’s kind of insane that these were the limits, right. How much more could you work?
We’re now 20 years out from the duty-hour policy.
Our guest for this episode is Andy White, my former pediatric residency program director at Washington University in St Louis and the current chair of pediatrics at Saint Louis University.
