It truly is dependent on a few factors. For one, different hospitals have different work hours, shifts, etc. Also, it depends on the specialty. It is common for surgical interns/residents to work 100+ hours while some fields (radiology, anesthesiology) work less grueling shifts. Hours can be anywhere from 65 to 100+. Overall, interns/residents usually work long hours.
