Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) resident work hour restrictions have shown mixed results, are controversial and may not be fully complied with. This study assessed which factors influence residents to take a post-call day (PCD) off as described by ACGME. The most important factors were the attending and chief resident feedback regarding PCDs.
