Would a house staff union undermine the relationship between housestaff and faculty and interfere with educational goals?
No. While there may be some initial tension during the organizing process, experience from other programs has shown that the relationship between housestaff and faculty can actually grow stronger as we work together toward common goals. Faculty and housestaff share many objectives, such as: improving ancillary staff, enhancing discharge planning, improving access for patients, and assuring adequate financial support for the institution. There are no provisions in CIR contracts that dictate how your program educates you.
