Surgical program directors are seeking how to best meet the work hour restrictions recently mandated by the American College of Graduate Medical Education. Implementation of an 80-hour work week forces major change to graduate medical education, especially surgical education. Creative restructuring of surgical training is necessary to ensure compliance. Developing an innovative solution to meet these requirements must consider programmatic needs, requiring commitment to a change process. The Department of Surgery at Eastern Virginia Medical School experienced a 5-month strategic planning process that generated the Mendoza plan. This plan uses an every third night call model and a night float model to meet site-specific needs. The specifics of the Mendoza plan protect the cornerstone of surgical education, which is continuity of patient care and resident education. The Mendoza plan, and the process leading to its development, may provide insightful information for other surgical residency programs planning to meet work hour guidelines.
