Soon to be PGY-1 here. Just wanted to know how the hours are during intern year and if there is enough time to get my daily exercise fix? Thanks!
Gotta workout in the morning or it doesn't happen for me. Love the early spin classes. When I finish my day I want to go home. Gets me to work early as well.
When I move I'll be looking into getting a simple bench and powerblocks.

Former UTHSCSA med student. Don't know the specific hours for PM&R internship but the new duty hours for all interns kicked in last year. There is a Spectrum (chain) gym on campus and a Gold's down the street. There's a track on campus as well, and plenty of people run in the area. I think you will make time if you're motivated (since you posted you probably are).
Do residents get a free membership at the spectrum on campus? Thanks
The Spectrum Fitness Center is located by the recreational sports complex on the west side of Central Campus. Generally, most students are automatic members through their Fitness Center fee. Contact the Office of Student Life if you have any questions.
Oh you'll get your exercise. Running for codes. Ha Ha
Seriously I did alot of jogging on my evenings after work (I am not a morning person) and our hospital had a little workout dungeon populated with workout equipment from prior residents.
Exercise will help burn off the excessive adrenaline from all your rookie mistakes. I highly recommend making time for it.
Apparently so.

Surprising because it's usually a pricey club.
