What does the day look like?
A doctor's day involves patient consultations, taking medical histories, physical examinations, and interpreting diagnostic tests such as blood panels, X-rays, CT/MRI scans, and ECGs. Everyday clinical tools include stethoscopes, pulse oximeters, sphygmomanometers, and bedside ultrasound (POCUS).
Direct patient care and procedures account for only 30% to 40% of the working day. The remaining 50% to 60% is spent on administrative tasks: entering data into Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems like Epic Systems, Cerner, Dedalus ORBIS, or EMIS Web, writing discharge summaries, and signing prescriptions. The schedule runs 40 to 60 hours per week, with frequent 12- to 24-hour on-call night shifts and weekend rotas.
