I'm on my attachment at general practice, and my supervisor is ignoring me completely. I introduced myself and she walked off without saying anything! Whenever I go to discuss a patient with her, she tells me to go to another doctor at the practice. Has anyone had this happen to them and how do you deal with it?
Thanks 🙂
 
Talk to whoever runs your clerkship. Most schools have someone set up to deal with this kind of stuff.
 
I'd just take her advice and go to another doctor at the practice ... meanwhile telling the school what's going on in case it comes up on evals.
