Family Medicine

I just started my first of two months of FP. The first week was definitely interesting. It's a busy office with 2 brothers and a cousin running it. Last week was just me and NYCOM 4th year student there. So on the busy days, the two of us didn't have any break and was walking in and out of the exam rooms non stop. I felt like there was a revolving door that kept spinning and was spitting me and her out at certain destination. It was like this my first day and the day after New Year. Thankfully, we had the New Year's Day off.

It was great because the last week definitely allowed me to work on my clinical skills and the OMM skills. I really didn't realize how much I can do already over the last few months. I have constantly felt that I was a student and not really know anything but the last week proved that the docs at the office really trust our judgement on the patients because we essentially see the patients and they come in to just do a cursory check before signing off. I have a feeling that this month will go by fast and definitely gain more experience and confidence.
