working hours of doctors, from interns to specialists (1 Viewer)

[skeptical_bum]

hey guys, just wondering does the working hours of a doctor ever go down? Say you start on a 70-80 hour week as an intern, does that ever go down if you become a specialist? or do you work that long indefinatly for the rest of your life? What are the factors that determine this?
