Editor's Picks A recently published study in the journal Sleep emphasized the fact residents really aren’t getting enough sleep when they work overnight shifts—even when it seems as if they are. According to the results of the study, which looked at data tracking the sleep patterns of 24 post-graduate year one (PGY-1) residents, “Sleeping four or fewer hours overnight yielded no significant improvement on any performance measure compared with zero sleep.”  There are as many ways to organize and manage interview days as there are training programs. Each program must determine what logistically works in its unique context. Like interview-day organization, interviewers also vary from program to program. However, most programs have candidates interview with the following key individuals. By 2015, all specialties and subspecialties began using the ACGME milestones to evaluate resident progress. Programs report milestones data to the ACGME semiannually, and the completed milestones scores are reviewed with residents and fellows during their semiannual reviews. Let’s take a moment to expand on this standard and look at some ways programs can use milestones data to make improvements.
