Abstract
A comparison of stress levels in preregistration house officers demonstrated lower levels in those completing 1-year rotations compared with those completing 6-month posts in two different hospitals. One-year rotations provide a more stable environment, allow new doctors to become familiar with the workings of an organization from several viewpoints and permit a better sense of working within a multiprofessional team than the traditional arrangements.Keywords
