Radio Rounds

In this episode, Radio Rounds Director Lakshman Swamy sits down with Dr. Vinny Arora of the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Medicine. Indicating that she believes resident work hour restrictions are here to stay, Dr. Arora discusses the development of a “new professionalism” for residents as they are forced to hand over or receive patients – often in the middle of treatment – when it’s time for a shift-change. You can read more on this topic in her recent JAMA article "Professionalism in the Era of Duty Hours: Time for a Shift Change?"
