Perhaps, I was the hardest working resident ever in the history of radiation oncology . . .
nearly every morning is filled with an early morning conference (tumor board, grand rounds, didactic, etc.) beginning ~ 7am. Clinics go full tilt from ~8:30-6. Then the catch up of dictations, planning etc. This alone equals a 13+ hour day, without even getting to read. Then, once the research projects start piling up.... I think our specialty is very underrated when it comes to the workload, as already mentioned above (at least as a resident)
I might use the word busy, instead of inefficient. Understaffed perhaps. Currently residents manage what may be a somewhat extreme caseload (recently ~250-300+ case logs/yr) Would be interested in how this compares with other programs.
