Resident/Fellow Work Log
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has implemented common standards for resident/fellow duty hours effective July 2003. Resident/fellow duty hours in all specialties are limited to 80 hours per week (averaged over a 4 week period). In addition, there are new requirements pertaining to continuous duty, rest time and on-call activities. In order to comply with the ACGME accreditation requirements, HRP is required to monitor resident and fellow work hours. To fulfill HRP's obligation to monitor your duty hours, you are asked to review your work hours over the past four weeks and then respond to the six (6) questions below.
