What programs have a lot of scut work?< i've heard NYU does < heard BU<what is considered "scut" work? < covering attendings' inboxes excessively, doing prior auths for every patient needing it (as opposed to doing some for educational purposes) < any program with resident clinics will have prior auths and a bit more workload, you don't have to cover attending inboxes at NYU though< true! And NYU has a lot of resident clinics which is why the training is good (ie you aren't 'shadowing' attendings) <like other people said, at NYU the clinics are resident run, meaning they have their own patients, and they are not under the attending, so it makes sense why they have to manage their own inboxes and do prior auths for their OWN patients. If it were attending clinics it would be a different story. < I heard UCSF has lots of work due to patient volume, like residents are there super late daily. I also don't think volume of work makes you a better physician, like the firehouse idea like water is good and all but not if you're getting more than you can drink
