What is the difference between a private shift and a student shift?
A majority of our physicians see patients both privately and while supervising a student shift. When a patient is seen on a private shift, it is a one-on-one encounter versus a student shift, where our student clinicians see the patient, while the physician supervises the patient visit. The cost is proportionally less expensive when being seen on a student shift and tends to average $25.00 less than a private shift.
