CBC Radio One - Special Program on Residents' Work Hours and Burnout


September 12, 2009 10:00 AM - CBC Radio One


http://www.cbc.ca/whitecoat






"This week on the season launch of White Coat, Black Art:

A trainee doctor in Canada is expected to work between 70 and 90 hours a week -- week after week, year after year. And while they're doing that, they're taking care of you and your loved ones. In the US and European Union they've limited the hours residents can work, to help protect patients from serious medical errors, but not yet in Canada.


In this Saturday's (12 September) edition of White Coat, Black Art, Dr. Brian Goldman talks to residents about their chronic overwork and sleep deprivation and the impact it has on patient care.

Tune in on Saturday morning at 10 am (10:30 in Newfoundland) on CBC Radio One.
