Re: The 10 000-hour rule and residency training, Salon, June 9
As a relatively recent graduate, I would respectfully disagree with this article. Dr. Omahen presumes that the primary objective of health care delivery is resident education. In fact, the primary goal is – and should always be – patient care. When I was a student, I was told by a more senior trainee: “Remember, at the end of the day, you are ultimately responsible for your own education.” I took this advice to heart and I would strongly advise current trainees to do the same.
