no consult counts as neither
inpatient rehab is just that - inpatient rehab. some residencies have different subspecialties like SCI, TBI, etc. I believe the ACGME requires you carry at least an average of 8 (or was it 6) patients for it to count as "full" inpatient - so some of the smaller programs have to double up on inpatient months for it to count as one.
It is an average of 8 per month to count.

No, that can't be right. Is it? 8 patients in the whole month, or do you mean an average of 8 patients per week over a month (meaning you could care for only 6 patients for 2 weeks, and then 10 the other two weeks, for an average of 8)???
It's an average census of 8 a month on your service to count as an inpatient. So scenario two was correct; 6 patients two weeks, 10 patients two weeks, average of 8 for the four weeks.
