I believe the GP is talking about increasing the number of doctors, not their years in residency.

  You learn how to do your entire specialty during residency. If you cut the number of hours, you have the same amount to learn in less time.

    That's on the assumption that amount learned per hour remains constant as hours worked increases.

      And that sleep deprivation has no effect on learning ability.
