US doctors' work hours improving, but flaws remain
Work hours restrictions in America are in the spotlight. AMedNews reports that one year into the restrictions, progress has been good but many residents are working excessive hours.
According to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, "of the 7,964 programs [they accredit], 1,753 were visited in the past 11 months, and 84 were cited for problems related to work-hour violations." There are also worries that residents are suppressing violations due to fears about losing accreditation.
