The impact of the resident duty hour regulations on surgical patients’ perceptions of care
Implementation of the 2003 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) resident duty-hour regulations and access to publicly reported patient satisfaction measures have challenged administrators and clinicians to balance resident’s educational experience, patient care quality, and p...

Implementation of the 2003 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) resident duty-hour regulations and access to publicly reported patient satisfaction measures have challenged administrators and clinicians to balance resident’s educational experience, patient care quality, and patients’ satisfaction and perceptions.
