What Family Medicine Residents Say
Real insights from verified family medicine residents about their training experience.
“Best part is unlimited meal stipend while in clinic or inpatient”
“I would consider my program to have significantly better work life than other residency programs. I work less hours per week on average than any other resident I know. This was important to me when applying, I figured that resident complain about two things: work hours and pay. If my work hours were less, my hourly rate would increase, addressing both issues.”
“I am a resident therefore work and am treated as such. My time holds little value. Countless times my schedule has been altered to meet the programs needs without my consent and many times with last minute notification. Often on weeknights and weekends I am still working despite being "off." That being said the work and educational experience has provided me the ability to become a very competent provider as my program places a strong emphasis on autonomy. My medical knowledge is umpteen times stronger than it was when I started.”
“As residents we don’t have much of a choice”
“Watch out for family medicine”
