Since 1960 the working hours for hospital doctors in training have been reduced by 12.5 hours per week. A questionnaire was sent to all departments in Norway involved in the education of specialists, asking them about the consequences of this reduction. The survey showed that the working time actually paid for today is not so short (42-46 hours per week). It showed indirectly, however, that the time available for education must have been reduced. About 50% stated that the reduction in working hours has had a negative effect on the extent and quality of the education. Nearly all confirmed a conflict of priorities between clinical routines and education. There were seldom opportunities to read medical literature or do research during working hours. There has been no reduction in routine work nor any increase in staff, in spite of a considerable increase in duties connected with the education of specialists.
自1960年以来，接受培训的医院医生每周的工作时间减少了12.5小时。一份调查问卷被发送给挪威所有参与专科医生教育的部门，询问他们这一减少带来的后果。调查显示，如今实际支付报酬的工作时间并非如此之短（每周42 - 46小时）。然而，这间接表明可用于教育的时间必然减少了。约50%的人表示工作时间的减少对教育的范围和质量产生了负面影响。几乎所有人都证实临床日常工作和教育之间存在优先级冲突。工作时间内很少有机会阅读医学文献或进行研究。尽管与专科医生教育相关的职责大幅增加，但常规工作并未减少，工作人员也未增加。
