(Starting with htn/hld/dm, but I believe there are probably plans to spread to other chronic disease in the cdmp in the future).

Don't know man.. this is coming from myself, a very disillusioned R3 who feels that he will never pass mmed (especially after attending the monthly clinical practice sessions by my faculty), and trying desperately to convince myself that I am doing the right thing in life...
Performance indeed. More showmanship
People skills
Know how to assess what the patient wants
Unspoken requests met
Earning trust
Making patient feel acknowledged and listened to.
Investment of time and hard work at beginning to build
Relationships and trust. Later then visits get faster and easier
And some of the medication prescribed is never given same way
As in OPS or taught at academic courses
More customer service and giving them what they want rather than
What is "CPG recommendation"
In fact have to "unlearn" what you were taught to say and do to
Pass exam.
You will either find pte enlightening or you might be even more
Disillusioned
Simple question for you. You like following CPG and doing what is
The standard of practice?
Or do you like wayang and bs have patient love you like cult figure
