Work Hours

Program Administrators must ensure that Residents and Fellows are following ACGME common program requirements that respond to work-life balance. Common program requirements maintain that residents should not exceed an 80-hour work limit, must be off for one day in a 7-day period, and clinical work periods must not exceed 24 hours of continuous scheduled clinical assignment. Program Administrators will set up each trainee profile accordingly, in Medtrics, enter schedules for each trainee and set up their administrative profile to receive reminders. Residents and Fellows will provide feedback such as time off or vacation prospectively.
