ForwardPromoting Physician Wellness: Recognizing the Signs of Fatigue and Sleep Deprivation Strategies for Alertness Management and Fatigue Mitigation
With the growing attention paid to resident duty hours, there is an increasing need for research involving fatigue and practical ways to measure it.
