What is an average (or minimum) number of the following procedures that a student should do/ have done by the end of 4th year, before starting residency:
LP
vaginal deliveries
flex sig
other endoscopies
casting
central line placement
arterial line
intubation
vaginal exam/pap
chest tube
Feel free to add to the list.
I realize there may be a great deal of variation from school to school. This is why I am asking for averages, or what is felt to be the minimum acceptable level.
If you would prefer to just share your personal experiences/numbers that would be great as well.
thanks.
