the problem with the gene pool is that there are no lifeguards.....and we have been offering swimmies

6 weeks total. (counts for 4 weeks of core / 2 week of elective)
2 weeks Inpatient M-F (including national holidays). 1 24hour saturday night call... (including holidays like New Years eve )
2 weeks Outpatient - M-F at the 2 clinics. 1 saturday clinic call day.
1 week Nights - 3 nights of the week - on from 5:30pm - 7:00am
1 week Preventative Medicine. -- Mon- Sat. Involves patient education, community coach 2 days, and Needle exchange community van (1 night from 6:00pm-11:00pm) and 1 Screening topic presentation (ex. osteoporosis screening, ETOH screening, Breast Ca Screening).

LOTS and LOTS of scut work. Be prepared to work harder than on your Internal Medicine rotation.. much harder. Don't be foolded by the "Family Practice" title.

thats weird, i find barely any scut work. I dont see how checking up on your assigned patients, ordering the labs, following the results, doign the H&Ps is scut work......i find a lot of free time during the day which is annoying.Like inpatient you come in at 7 and then have until 10:30 to see your patients, write your notes, etc.....that takes me 30 mins at the most. Then you round, lunch, wait around, lectures or whatever else and then youre done at 5. 1 intern tried to scut me but i said no and there have been no other issues

Good stuff!! But how did you say no? For some reason I thought we're at the bottom of the totem pole, or is it that we only do what our preceptors advise us to do? Who CANT we normally say no to?
I just wanna make sure so I'm not booted out of some rotation for telling some intern that I'm not his slave.

to be completely honest, i looked at him and said "no", it works with my personality tho.....then another time he asked me to get some labs for 1 patient but i was already done with that patient and was working on another so i told him "i finished all my work with that patient and now im doin work on this other pt, i will go back and do what you want later".....There are some interns i would never consider saying no to.....but if one specifically tries to scut me out all the time then yeh i will say something. I woud say no to interns.....PGY2 or PGY3's would really have to scut me big time, but i have not had a problem yet with them, most are happy if youre competent and demonstrate that and seem to be happier teaching you. I would never say no to an attending.....as for interns, if youre going to say no you need to have a reason. If youre sitting around doing nothing and have nothing else to do then it looks really bad if you say no. If an intern asks you to run to radiology and get a preliminary report on a pt and you say no bc you are about to go assist/perform a pericentesis, then a femoral line, followed by a complete respiratory exam on the pneumonia pt to learn how to hear and percuss consolidation then if they gave you problems they would prob get crap from their resident or attending for scutting you when you had better learning opportunities.....that is at least what i have noticed.....just dont become one of those students i look at an say "tool".....you know the ones im talkin about
