It depends on the clinic...I've worked in some where they average 30+ patients over 8-10 hours per provider, on top of also having to do nurse procedures, PAs, telephone triage, case management, medication refills...it's not the acuity but the massive, never-ending load. It really, REALLY depends on your team. The upside is that that massive, never-ending load is limited to M-F, no overnights, no weekends, no holidays, and-sometimes-no hellacious weather if it gets bad enough that they figure none of the patients are going to show up (or if they close the roads, since you aren't really essential personnel as outpatient care).
