  • A high response rate was achieved from both programs (85%) and faculty (63%).
  • A significant majority of faculty (75%) expressed a preference for 8-hour shifts over 12-hour shifts.
  • Over the last five years, 40% of programs shortened shift lengths, with 34% reducing night shifts.

Conclusions:

  • Emergency medicine faculty demonstrate a clear preference for shorter work shifts.
  • There is an observable trend towards reduced shift durations and fewer night shifts in residency programs.
