Rita’s Answer
I am a family practice physician.
Previously, I owned my own office so I started work early. I usually would eat breakfast and start reviewing labs and refilling medications around 6:30 AM. I would then drive to work and start seeing patients at around 8 AM until 4-4:30 pm. After work and throughout the day between seeing patients, I would review documents like Xray results, specialists' notes etc, continue to refill medications, answer telephone encounters until maybe 5 pm or so. Over the weekends, I would continue reviewing documents, reviewing labs. Sometimes, I would need to go into the office over the weekends to take care of issues, get the mail, buy office supplies etc.
After I sold my practice, I start work at about 7:30 AM and finish around 4-4:30 pm. My weekends are free.

Hello Anna,
I am a pharmacy student in Pakistan I think it depends on the type of medical field because I think physicians work more hours and spend a very busy life. so, what medical professional do you choose first visit on a website named American bureau of labor and statistics where every detail about every profession in USA is mentioned and I have a dream to practice my pharmacy in USA i hope it will help
