Typical day

Start the day at 8 for teaching session with residents, lead by attending or fellow.  Meet at outpatient clinic at 9 and start seeing patients, independently, and then present to the attending.  Occasionally also sent on inpatient consults.  Entire team meets for rounds one time every day with the service attending - round on all our patients in the hospital.  If clinic ends early, occasional informal teaching session with the service attending.  Attendings and Fellows are great with teaching throughout your time there.

Other comments

Good balance of independence and contact with the attending and fellows.  Small group but a good amount of work spread across everyone.
