Theoretical model of resident learning. In a proposed theoretical model for resident learning, learning is optimal at a census or workload (Point A); where patient volume, acuity and variety (all contributing to workload) are adequate and appropriate for resident learning. Resident learning is less optimal when residents have either too few patients (inadequate workload, Point B) or too many patients (overwhelming workload, Point C).
