On September 8, the ACGME released a proposed major revision of the Common Program Requirements for Residency. Public comments on the proposed changes are open through October 22nd. These requirements directly shape the training environment for residents and fellows—including our clinical responsibilities, education, supervision, well-being, and patient care. The part that matters for residents is Section 6, the learning and working environment, and specifically the clinical and educational work hour rules.
You just need a few minutes to tell ACGME what you think from your perspective.
