I was wondering how tough residency hours were for pediatricians. I figured it would be tough like all other residencies, but how does it scale compared to the others? And it is only 3 years right?

It is 3 years and teh schedule can vary dramatically from program to program. Some (mine) have a lot of call, but some other programs have night float systems where most months the residents don't even work 60 hours.
