Once you are in practice, is it typical for neurosurgeons to split up time between clinic/OR/administrative by days?

ie. MW= clinic all day, TTh = OR, F=admin/research

It does vary greatly place to place..............from what I've seen most have dedicated OR days 2 or 3 days a week. Some only see patients in clinic 2 days a week, while I've seen others who operate in the morning and see patients in the afternoon. If you are private practice you have much more freedom to choose your schedule than if you are employed by the hospital.
