Abstract
As the nation's teaching hospitals implement the next rendition of limits for physicians-in-training on work hours during residency, it is imperative to understand the impact of such sweeping changes. There are a number of important questions related to the impact of duty hours on resident education and patient outcomes. At the same time, the medical education community must not lose sight of the many research questions, independent of duty hours, that must be answered to optimally configure resident education. Developing and implementing a comprehensive, coordinated research agenda around resident education addresses these larger matters, as well as the issues related to duty hours specifically, and will drive innovation and testing of new approaches, with the goal of facilitating the spread of best practices that optimize resident education and patient care outcomes.1
