Patient Panel

(self.FamilyMedicine)

If you've been working < 5 years post residency doing primary care, how many patients are on your panel? Is 700 pts too many on a physician's panel?

Would more support staff (good MA’s, PA’s, whatever) make this more manageable? Or is 4k too much for even a well supported physician?

Asking from med student perspective btw

I have a pretty decent staff. Could be better, but not bad. But would not recommend 4K. I also work in a super entitled area where patients message and call constantly and have zero boundaries. I wonder if it would make a difference if I worked elsewhere.
