I've been told it's better than it used to be.  There's laws now about the amount of hours residents can be forced to work within a certain time frame.  My cousin, a big-shot surgeon in NJ who is a year older than I, likes to scoff when he hears doctors complain about what they're put through.  He says they'd never survive what his cohort went through. 

As he's not too far off from 50, I perceive he's just about ready to start talking about how he had to walk to school, in the snow, uphill both ways, and yelling at kids to get off his lawn. 
I don’t totally understand the history of that practice and I remain curious if there’s any upside to it.

like, I would assume sleep deprived doctors are worse for patients. But I don’t really understand if there’s any payoff to training while in that state.

My last year in grad school was pretty brutal.  I had some weeks where I counted up 100+ hours.  Some of that was sleeping while this machine cranked away, it would ding when it finished.  My gf did not understand.

I'd need to ask some people who would know better than I.  Without that benefit, I'm guessing a couple of the rationales are:

  • Residents have to have X amount of hours before they can be unleashed to do their own thing or proceed to the next step in their chosen field.  Because there's a provider shortage, it behooves the industry to get these folks out into the independent practicing world asap.  
  • Also, a lot of hospitals couldn't function without residents, and there's only a limited number of them but the workload is what it is, so....you work until the work's done.  
  • Depending on their chosen specialty and setting--i.e., clinic, hospital, other--they stand to be in for careers of ungodly long and awful hours.  Might as well break them in while they're still green, because for a lot of them, it ain't ever gonna get much better.  

Just my guesses.

My MBA grad school was a lot easier than my EE undergrad.  There were times in undergrad when I wouldn't leave campus for 2 or 3 days.  Those senior labs were a real bitch.
