Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
We would see the attendings just during rounds or procedures. Most of the attendings are fantastic and they teach a lot during rounds. We saw the fellows more often, and they were very good with helping us figure out what the diagnosis was and what needed to be done. Busy service, teaching occurred each day but they were long days. There is a lot of time with the residents/attendings. |

Typical day |
Half of my time was spent on the GI service and half on hepatology. We would generally see our old patients and new consults in the morning, and then round in the afternoon. In between, I would watch scopes. Busy day, occasional down time of an hour or two. Always off for lunch. The day runs late depending on the attending and residents. Start at 7 or 8am, ends between 4 and 7pm. |
