In my Sub-I for peds at least, you pretty much do everything from the initial interview to the discharge - the only people writing notes on the chart was me, the chief who just cosigned my notes, and the attending. Basically if you don't write the order, it doesn't get done. While this is kinda cool, it quickly becomes very frustrating as you shuttle back and forth from the floor to wherever the chief is and then sit and wait on the secretaries to eventually enter it... Also you have to have real plans now, instead of the vague BS you could write as a 3rd year (or at least what *I* was writing lol).
