The virtual alumni panel was tonight. Devika caught the first part from a hospital call room and then got pulled back into service, so I listened from the apartment and we compared notes afterward. The useful shift was that the comparison got more schedule-real than prestige-real: the chief-resident alumni said a chief year can still cluster nights and weekends around hospital need even if teaching/admin days are protected on paper, the hospitalist alumni said block schedules are more legible ahead of time but recovery after heavy service weeks is not automatic and can get eaten by errands, charting catch-up, or extra service pressure, and the QI/research bridge answers were the most sponsor-dependent because the schedule is only humane if protected time and clinic load are actually negotiated. We're still not choosing a path, and I'm recording this as evidence rather than turning it into another spreadsheet.
