The mission of the AAMC's Organization of Resident Representatives
(ORR) is to improve resident physician education and training for
the purpose of improving the quality of health care. The ORR will
improve residency education through programming and professional
development, and support AAMC initiatives and goals by providing
the resident voice in the AAMC.

Updates
Duty Hours
Tom Nasca of the ACGME has submitted a letter with an update on duty hours
The AAMC has submitted a letter to the Accreditation Council for
Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), responding to the council's
request for comments
on an Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on resident duty hours (PDF). The IOM report, "Resident Duty Hours: Enhancing
Sleep, Supervision, and Safety," recommends reforms to resident
workloads and duty hours and urges the ACGME to provide better monitoring
of duty hour limits, better guidelines for residents' caseloads,
and better supervision of residents. In the letter, the AAMC noted
that too great a focus on resident duty schedules "will not
address–and may distract academic medicine from–the
larger issues of detection and management of fatigue, quality of
resident supervision, appropriateness of resident workloads, and
effectiveness of information transfer among residents and other
members of the patient care team." If these larger issues are
addressed, the letter notes, the need to regulate resident duty
schedules can and should lessen or disappear.—STAT, May

Compact Between
Resident Physicians and Their Teachers
This document is a declaration of the fundamental principles of
graduate medical education (GME) and the major commitments of both
residents and faculty to the educational process, to each other
and to the patients they serve. The Compact's purpose is to provide
institutional GME sponsors, program directors and residents with
a model statement that will foster more open communication, clarify
expectations and re-energize the commitment to the primary educational
mission of training tomorrow's doctors.
