It’s a good question . Current M3 here .Incoming MS1 here trying to figure out how my schedule will be like during med school. I was looking at the website, but our school's academic calendar for MS3 and 4 only gives the blocks and the vacation schedule. It doesn't really show a lot of detailed information.
My question is: Do we have the weekends off during clerkship or are we working nonstop during the blocks, and only taking 4 vacations a year? If the vacation schedule doesn't include the major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, does that mean that we need to work during those days????
Please correct me if I am wrong. The clerkship years seem horrifying. Do we have time to spend time with family and friends during clerkship?
I think i worked three weekend days all of M3 and no holidays. It doesnt have to be terrible.School and rotation dependent. I had at least one day off every weekend on surgery and had every other weekend completely off (and sometimes two weekends in a row). And many times I got out earlier than I did on inpatient peds or psych. On psych and peds, I worked literally one weekend day over 10 weeks. Third year doesn’t necessarily have to be the brutal gulag everyone makes it out to be.
First two years of psych residency weekends off weren’t frequent.Depends on the rotation.
Psych and family med you'll get weekends off likely
Most other rotations you'll go 6 days a week with one weekend day.
I think the question was about clerkships, not residency ahaFirst two years of psych residency weekends off weren’t frequent.
year3 and 4 were chill tho
Check in time is now. Check out time is never.welcome to hell.
