This survey of internal medicine, pediatrics, and general surgery residency program directors found strong support for many components of the recently proposed duty-hour regulations, including the overall limit of 80 hours per week and the requirement for on-site supervision of first-year residents. However, most directors disagreed with the proposed 16-hour maximal shift length for interns, and only a few of the programs surveyed already enforce such a limit.
