Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
I spent nearly the whole clinic day with either Lifetime Medical Assoc. attendings or residence. It was definitely quality time in every aspect. Learned a ton, got to know and familiar with the program and enjoyed it! The teaching was poor and at times was intimidating. I would only recommend doing this elective if you want to do med/peds at RUSH. The office at Lifetimes is a mess and the attendings are constantly complaining. Most of your time is spent with attendings. Quality of teaching is excellent |

Typical day |
Show up around 8-9 am, had an hour lunch break and stayed until about 5pm. Once there it was all on my own initiative to see patients and do procedures. It was all out-patient office visits. Get there at 8, leave at 6pm. if there were no patients they just expected you to sit there and stare at the wall. it was awful 8 or 9 to 430-5 seeing patients in clinic. Time also set aside for you to work on your projects. |
