So we rotate at a community hospital in the city of my med school and it seems like a lot of the attendings are either completely indifferent or downright annoyed about med students being there. Like it is a resident service, so not sure why they are expecting there to be no med students. On all the procedures that they do, they are extremely hesitant to allow med students. Most of the time they won’t even let us see patients and it’s more like shadowing. Like weren’t they in our shoes before? I don’t really understand but it’s annoying to be honest.
I feel like many of these attendings want the benefits of working on a resident service (ie, having most notes prewritten by residents, barely having to see patients for more than 5 min because already checked by resident) but none of the possible drawbacks like teaching med students
I’m guessing this is much different at big teaching hospitals?
