As I'm looking at jobs it seems like a lot of the private practice opportunities you work as the frontline provider managing 15-20 patients. This is in comparison to academic jobs where you always have an NP/PA or resident taking first call about patient questions and you are in a supervisory role. Obviously pay is better in private practice but it seems like always having to do all orders, consult calls, procedures, nurse questions, family calls on 20 patients by yourself would suck and be a quick road to burnout.
Since obviously there are people working in these models, I wanted to see if anyone here who has done this could share their experiences and workflow, perhaps it's not as bad as I envision.
