just devils advocate, but where do you expect residents to learn real world experience if not in a clinical setting?

At the clinic I see is fine, if asked for less important appointments. However, I don't want to be forced to accept a medical student or be kicked off the roster. I also don't want to be told I'm in the wrong for wanting a doctor foremost.

FYI, these forced med. student appointments are new. It may be a teaching clinic (it didn't used to be), but that's no excuse for requiring people to see med. students instead of full-fledged doctors.

Furthermore, the teaching angle is an incomplete excuse. Notice how "physician assistants" was also on that list, right beside medical students? What's the justification for that?
