Med students are not subject to residency hour limits. I did not create these charts, just sharing.pic.twitter.com/45M5S1SoqZ
Did you bother to check these facts at all? Please explain how students spending 64 weeks on clerkships are getting to 6000 hours. If you can't show your work, then don't share the numbers.
Not 64wks. Last 2 yrs are all clinical=82.4wks. 12 hr/d is common, Surg/OB do 1+call/wk +. Av 73 hrs/week!pic.twitter.com/rVXBBcj0Tq
I provided you with up to date clerkship numbers from the AAMC. What is the source of your numbers? I thought you cared about facts?
This is from AAMC. 2018-2019 didn’t show hrs by year. Docs can’t practice independently after med school.pic.twitter.com/hTVjtSphfO
The link I shared clearly stated 64 weeks on average for clerkships. Your second point is irrelevant to your made up med student hours.
You read it wrong. Other includes elective clinicals. More detailed breakdown is given for prior yearspic.twitter.com/rY2TKtgCeI
No, other is other. You cannot assume it is clinical time just to fit your agenda. Even it was clinical time, still means med students are averaging 70 hours a week in yrs 3 and 4. You think med students are working intern hours?
Yep. Other than my surgery rotations, I never spent that many hours in the hospital per week my entire 3rd and 4th years, and graduated from medical school in the late 1980s.
Really? Only surgery? I took call overnight in surgery, OB, ED and surgical electives.
Not every third night I didn’t. Only in surgery.
