ACGME reveals plans for reviewing duty hour standards

By: Julie McCoy February 20th, 2009

The ACGME hasn’t said much since the Institute of Medicine release its duty hours recommendations back at the beginning of December. . . until now.

Today, this letter from ACGME CEO Thomas Nasca appeared on the accreditor’s Web site describing the actions the organization will take to review duty hour rules.

I’m still reading through and digesting the information, but look for a summary in Tuesday’s edition of our free e-newsletter, Residency Program Connection.

All I know is that I look forward to attending the session on duty hours at the ACGME conference in a few weeks!
