Performance Nutrition for Residents and Fellows
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT03698123
Purpose
Currently, residents commonly experience dehydration and poor nutrition during nighttime duty
hours as a result of heavy work load, lack of time to take nutrition and hydration breaks, or
limited or no access to healthy food and drinks which may affect residents' work performance.
The goal of this study is to compare the effects of two different meal compositions with no
typical dietary practices (existing conditions) on work performance of the on-call residents
during night shifts.
