Nuthalapaty FS, Carver AR, Nuthalapaty ES, et al. The perceived impact of duty hour restrictions on the residency environment: a survey of residency program directors. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2006;194(6):1556-62.
The investigators surveyed residency directors on the perceived impact of work hour limitations on residency training. They found that a majority of program directors felt that the restrictions had a negative impact on resident education, had little or no impact on patient safety and quality, but improved the well being of residents.
