It is such a QoL difference starting to see almost all my own, established patients! Getting to know them and their families is such a pleasure. Feels similar to the end of residency when I knew my resident panel so well.

I spent around 6 hours editing my CV from the fluffy trainee one into a streamlined attending version. Still feel like it needs some work! Any CV tips?
