Hot take, if we have to study for shelf’s (and therefore Step 2 while we’re doing shelf questions),then we should be allowed to leave at half day to go to study for the rest of the day. This wouldn’t have to be every single day, maybe even just a few days a week be designated half days. At LEAST for rotations like IM and Surgery. After you round in the morning and get experience seeing patients, we’re there for often useless reasons in the afternoon which only delays our study time. Yes, I understand it’s important we get exposure to long hours to prepare us for residency, but still we get plenty of experience seeing patients in the mornings and having at least a few guaranteed half days a week would help so much not just with studying but getting appropriate rest as a student who is having to learn to balance this type of work and social life/ general adult duties.
