Duty Hours

The University Hospital is committed to making the work life of a resident and their family an enjoyable time.   With the new ACGME Duty Hour Regulations in place as of July 1, 2003, the Office of GME has created a Duty Hours Hotline 513-584-2109.  This is an anonomyous hotline to report any duty hour violation (over the 80 Hour Work Week, not having 1 in 7 off from clinical duties, more than every third night call, or not having 10 hours in between clinical duties).  We encourage residents, faculty, staff, and family members to utilize this hotline. 

The ACGME has developed a Frequent Q & A explaining the rules and regulations.  Please click here to review.
