Sleep Reform for Resident Physicians is a practical guide for trainees and educators who want to address one of medicine's most persistent problems: chronic sleep deprivation.
Drawing from her own experience as a hem-onc fellow, Dr. Laura Vater combines personal storytelling, scientific evidence, and real-world advocacy strategies to show how residents and fellows can drive meaningful change within their training programs.
The guide explores the impact of sleep deprivation on patient safety, physician well-being, medical errors, and burnout, while providing a step-by-step framework for collecting data, building support, and advocating for system-level reform. More than a critique of the status quo, it is a roadmap for creating safer and more sustainable training environments for both physicians and patients.
