As a Surgical Faculty, I can tell you that we enforce the 80 hour week. Residency programs are doing away with elective research year - or adding year - to make up for missed cases. The residents really have no choice now, if they are caught "bending the rules", we must put them on time off to balance. It sucks for all but spouses.
The interesting fact is the one study only found that the 80 hour week gave them more time to moonlight.
