At my institution, AMG's are expected to have their unrestricted license by the start of PGY-3. I am a little nervous doing so . At least writing orders and being supervised with a licensed attending, if anything bad goes down, the attending goes down with me and shares responsibility (from what my understanding is). When you are licensed in residency and something catastrophic happens like a patient codes on the unit, or god forbid dies (commits suicide after discharge) for instance, does the attending get sued, or does the resident get sued and is their career forever finished?
I just like sharing responsibility with the attending. I don't feel like I should ever be forced to have a license during residency especially when I'm being given orders to treat patient's.
