Abstract
The extension of whistleblower protection to medical residents is by no means a panacea to current abusive working conditions. Roles exist for the federal government, the states, and institutional organizations such as the ACGME. Whistleblower protection provides one subtle yet effective regulatory tool that could undoubtedly result in enforcement of labor standards and ultimately better working conditions for medical residents.
