I love medicine, however at the hospital affiliated with my medical school IM is a ****-show with 5,000 IM residents essentially doing secretarial work 90% of the day. The attending comes in to round, essentially does the diagnosing/management himself, pawns off the referrals/consults to his underlings then takes off.
Is there more autonomy / diagnosing/ critical thinking at the premier IM residencies? I guess I'm looking for the opinion of someone who did rotations at programs like my home institution and did rotations at the ones with 250+ average step scores are needed for interviews.
