Real Experiences from Academic Family Medicine Physicians
“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. ”
