As new documentation requirements by governments and third-party payees increasingly occupy physicians' time, duty hour restrictions have continued to restrict the work hours of residents, leaving programs tasked to produce proficient foot and ankle surgeons (FASs) in less time. The purpose of the present study was to quantify the workday of resident FASs at our institution to identify areas suited for revision to improve efficiency and training. A resident from each postgraduate year (PGY) was recruited and consented for minute-to-minute observation by 4 independent observers over 5 consecutive workdays.
