Article Synopsis
- Postgraduate medical trainees in British Columbia often work long shifts (≥ 24 hours), leading to fatigue and an increased risk of motor vehicle incidents (MVIs) during their commutes.
- A survey of 273 trainees revealed that over half experienced at least one MVI, with factors like commute length and hours on-call significantly correlating with attentional failures while driving.
- The study highlights the need for safer commuting options for trainees, as longer and more demanding work hours negatively impact their commute safety.
