In 2003, passage of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) work hour standards marked the first time that work hours for physicians in training were regulated throughout the United States. Five years later, the medical profession stands at a critical juncture. At the request of Congress, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has sponsored an Institute of Medicine committee to review the evidence on the relationship between residents' work hours and patient safety and to develop recommendations for improvement.1
