Pros

there is a wild variety of patients if you are looking to learn.

Cons

Very disorganized, very frustrating to be a ancillary service as there poor communication between different medical teams. It is also an unbelievably dirty facility, the bathrooms are disgusting, there is never any toilet paper, human fluid on the ground often, and they are never cleaned. They also don’t really seem to care about consulting services in patient care, we never get recognized for our work, and are often overlooked. Poor transparency from management, not great opportunities for upward growth once you reach a certain point.
