Long hours with few patients


Recommended Posts

In my current rotation, I’m seeing about 5-10 patients daily over 8-9 hour shifts, averaging around 7 patients per day. My first rotation was in family medicine, and now I’m in an elective, with both settings having a similar patient load. I’m curious if this is typical for a PA student during rotations. Should I be concerned about not seeing enough patients and consider reporting it to my clinical director, or is it better to just make use of the downtime to study and enhance my learning independently? Would appreciate any insights or experiences from others in similar situations.
