Study: Increase in operative variability among surgical residents since 80-hour workweek
Editor's Note
In this study of surgical residents after implementation of the 80-hour workweek in 2003, researchers found a significant increase in operative variability, including an increase in the variability of total major cases between the resident completing the most and fewest cases per class.
This may suggest a growing disparity in residents’ operative experience and consequently a varying quality of graduating residents, the researchers say.
