The association was also able to discover that many doctors
, most of whom are not ready to enter into residency yet cover more duties. 50 Percent of medical students were relegated to clerical work while 25 percent were assigned to clinical tasks and this is what the newfound results of a survey with 500 medical student respondents have found. The head of the medical student association shares that the alterations of the work hours of residents have really caused troubles for the staffing system. Much of these programs for the resident doctors have no control on the soaring cost of expenses since they cannot do anything but take in more staff such as more nurses, nurse practitioners and assistants to physicians to cover most shifts. Others have devised night schedules consisting of resident teams coming in at night shift to cover for those on morning shift.
