An assistant resident or resident physician participates in
				  an organized graduate educational program in which he has daily contact with
				  patients and assumes increasing responsibility for their care under the
				  supervision of the attending staff of the hospital. The assumption of
				  responsibility is a most important aspect of residency training. As each
				  assistant resident or resident physician demonstrates increasing knowledge and
				  ability, an increasing amount of reliance should be placed in his judgment in
				  the diagnosis and in treatment of patients. He may also participate in the
				  teaching of interns and medical students to an increasing extent. In surgery
				  and surgical specialties, the assistant resident and resident physician should
				  be given ample opportunity to perform major surgical procedures under direct
				  supervision of qualified members of the professional staff of the hospital,
				  particularly in the later stages of his training, in order that he may acquire
				  surgical skill and judgment.
