Yet old values do not simply die in a new system. Despite duty hour restrictions, today's trainees continue to exhibit behaviors consistent with “nostalgic professionalism,”1 defined as consistently placing a patient's or the profession's needs above one's own personal needs. However, at times these behaviors directly conflict with the current system of medical training. This creates a challenge for medical educators: how can the conflict between nostalgic definitions of professionalism and the new model of medical training be reconciled? Answering this question requires a deeper understanding of specific circumstances in modern residency training in which resident actions consistent with nostalgic professionalism conflict with mandated regulation.
