The ACGME’s new Common Program Requirements go into effect July 1, but support for the new standards is mixed, according to a new survey in Family Medicine.
Researchers surveyed 727 family medicine residents about resident supervision, the 80-hour duty hour week, shift lengths, and maximum frequency of in-hospital duty. They also asked respondents about their opinions on reasonable weekly work hours, underreporting, and off-duty activities.
Respondents reported their satisfaction with future duty hour rules as:
- Very satisfied: 7%
- Satisfied: 24%
- Somewhat satisfied: 27%
- Unsatisfied: 23%
- Very unsatisfied: 18%
For more on the survey results, please see the May issue of Family Medicine.
