'''Work-hour minimums''' refer to regulations by the [[ACGME]] dictating that the work week be no fewer than 20 hours.
On December 4, 2016, the Dermatology Residency Program at Washington University at St. Louis was placed on probation after [[Work-Hour Minimums|work-hour minimums]] were violated several times over a 5-year span.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/12/work-hour-minimums-dermatology/ After Violating Work-Hour Minimums, Derm Residency Program on Probation]</ref> This is contrast to all of the surgical subspecialties, which received a special commendation by the [[ACGME]] on December 5, 2016 for their "stellar work not only surpassing the '''work-hour minimums''' but also soaring above the [[Work-Hour Restrictions|work-hour restrictions]]." None of the subspecialties have had time to pick up their awards.
