Resident duty hour restriction cuts inpatient teaching
Hospitalist Leadership Connection, November 10, 2009
The current 80-hour resident duty restriction, set by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), reduces the amount of time residents spend teaching, according to a new study, “Impact of duty-hour restriction on resident inpatient teaching,” published in the October issue of the Journal of Hospital Medicine.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, surveyed 125 internal medicine residents and found that the ACGME’s duty hour restrictions limit them; 24% of the residents spent less time teaching.
The duty-hour restrictions, however, lead to less emotional exhaustion and more satisfaction in the quality of care they delivered.
“Academic hospitalists should consider these impacts of duty hour restrictions and make adjustments such as educational and work-life innovations to account for these shifts,” states the study.
