Your "workload expectation" during internship should be what's needed for training. We just had this discussion as we are planning our internship program. If they need workhorses then they shouldn't have even developed an internship. Working over 40 hours is fine, but I would prefer that's because I am using that time to further my career/training/vita, not because the admins view me as a clinical cash cow.
Stress about your productivity numbers and keeping admin happy should not be one of the stresses of an training experience, and I would argue that stress from those variables is counterproductive to the training process.
I agree. I was a lowly intern. What could I do?
