The number of hours worked by residents (resident duty hours) are the subject of much national and international debate. In 2012, the Towards a Pan-Canadian Consensus on Resident Duty Hours project was launched with two key objectives: 1) To assemble the available evidence on the issue; and 2) To facilitate a national, consensus-building process among educators, governments, policy makers, patient safety experts, and others, to come to a pan-Canadian statement on resident duty hours issues, directions, and best practices. This report, and the position of the National Steering Committee and six Expert Working Groups, is intended to outline recommendations and a path forward that optimizes patient care and training for the 21st century.
