AB In postgraduate medical training the heavy and irregular workloads are thought to result in fatigue and a potential decrease in the quality of care provided by interns and residents. We investigated these concerns among Ontario interns and residents. Information from 1805 house staff in all specialties and different years of postgraduate education suggested a relation between hours of work, fatigue and concerns about the quality of care.
