Detroit — Detroit Medical Center resident neurosurgeons were bullied, forced to work excessive hours and discouraged from reporting safety concerns, according to complaints referred to in a July letter of allegations from the agency that this month revoked the program's accreditation.
-Specifically, the complaints accused the neurosurgery residency program of violating rules on the number of hours residents are allowed to work, asserting two residents who worked past the maximum number of hours were involved in car accidents after leaving work. Allegedly, the program director does not support residents when duty hour limits are exceeded and becomes angry when violations are reported," according to the letter.
Before this week, Wayne State promoted the residency program, and how to apply, and continues to feature the biographies of its neurosurgery residents on its website.
