Importance: Since work-hour restrictions were instituted in 2003, sustainably complying with duty-hour regulations remains a challenge for general surgery residency programs across the nation.
Objective: To determine whether industry-based process improvement techniques could be leveraged to increase compliance with work-hour restrictions within a general surgery residency.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This quality improvement project using Lean methodology was conducted from October to November of the 2021 to 2022 academic year.
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of residency program directors in Japan regarding overtime duty hours and the balance between clinical training and self-improvement activities. This study explores the impact of work-hour regulations on resident well-being and training quality, contributing to global discourse on medical education reform.
Participants And Methods: A cross-sectional survey was distributed to 701 residency training hospitals across Japan to investigate their readiness for new duty-hour limits under the Medical Care Act, which categorizes working hours into Level A (960 hours/year), Level B (1440 hours/year), and Level C-1 (1920 hours/year).
