Home Call Is Deleterious to Sleep and Burnout

A study in the April issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons examines how home call, something that is commonly practiced across all surgical specialties, results in sleep disruption and increased feelings of burnout—even on nights during which the surgeon was never called. Lead author, Dr. Jamie Coleman, offers additional details about the study, “Home Is Not Always Where the Sleep Is: Effect of Home Call on Sleep, Burnout, and Surgeon Well-Being.”
