Summary:Arrighi and Hebert talk about the most recent iteration of the duty hour requirements which has evolved as one of many components of oversight of graduate medical education programs. This evolution has been influenced by multiple stakeholders, including representatives of the medical profession, public, and governments. Regulations regarding duty hour limits initially arose from the Libby Zion case, leading to New York State instituting strict limits on resident weekly work hours in 1989.
