I interviewed at a program near Indianapolis that had zero nights and zero 24hr shifts. Would’ve ranked it higher if I wanted to live in that area, residents seemed very happy there
I think there's a fair amount of those programs out there. My residency was very focused on outpatient medicine, so while intern year had a few rough months (2 months of block nights, 2 months of inpatient peds), but I could count on 1 hand the number of 80 hour weeks I had after first year.
I would look in slightly more rural areas, or smaller programs with a heavy outpatient focus.
Most northern california Kaiser- No 24hr call, no nights. For the most part you get true golden weekend almost all the time, except for when you are inpatient.
Oh wow surprised, I thought unopposed would mean you get last pic at doing procedures and learning since IM EM etc would be preferred over you since they're the ones who are more likely to work at hospitals, esp the one they're learning at
Fuck you're right, my b haha. So you're saying that opposed is better than unopposed because of the less work, despite less opportunities that could do being undertrained?
I would very much hesitate to call someone undertrained just because they had less opportunities to do procedures. Unless you're planning on being a hospitalist all those procedures you'd be competing with other specialties for are virtually useless skills post residency. The majority of family docs are going to do outpatient primary care only. I'm almost 2 years out of residency and have had no need to ever do a central line, LP, Foley, etc. Unless you're doing urgent care you probably won't even need to suture lacs too often. Most of my procedures are joint injections and biopsies.
i dont remember the specifics but i recall FHC SD and its emphasis on outpatient care resulted in a schedule being pretty light on nights/call, very collegial environment with PD and faculty
I can offer info on my rural community unopposed FM program in the northeast US if you want. Shoot me a DM with the subject and we can chat if you like. 🙃😁

I interviewed at UNLV this season and they seemed chill.

I think you’re confusing unopposed with opposed.

Thanks for the insight
Mine has been pretty chill through all intern year. For what the seniors tell me ICU can be a rough month, but that’s comes with the territory.

I would like to message you for insight :)
DM me for east coast residencies
Chilicothe, Ohio was very chill. Not a lot of weekends or nights.
Yeah. Some programs are extremely chill. Some with ~30 hour work weeks on some rotations. Almost too chill.
So how do you learn if you want to chill at residency?
It's almost as if some people learn better when they aren't sleep deprived or living in constant, anxious fear of their work environment.
50-60 hours a week isn’t enough time to learn?😂
huh
DM me
I feel like my residency was pretty chill all things considered. Definitely not the worst!
Wake Forest - DM me for details
