Cohort 2 Projects
My topic is to evaluate the effect of the 80 hour work week on the general surgery residents trained before,
during, and after the policy was instituted. I plan to look at: (1)the issue of resident competency ie how many
cases do they need to perform to be competent for different surgeries as evaluated by their attending for each
case and compared with self-evaluation; (2)how many cases of each type are required for the resident to feel
confident again self-evaluation vs attending evaluation. Comparisons would be made between the 3 groups:
before, during, and after instituting the 80 hr workweek; and how does this compare with the numbers of
those cases required by the RRC for board eligibility. (Chin)
