Hi everyone,

I’m a neurodivergent first year resident of Family Medicine in Canada. I’ve been really struggling with my program, largely with communication.

My issues center around reviewing patients with preceptors, having a decisive management plan, time efficiency with patient counters, and figuring out what to take away as learning experiences from patient encounters.

During my 6 month review my site director shared several concerns that felt vague and not actionable. He has concerns about poor organisation and conflicting documentation, but he didn't give me any tangible or concrete examples of where I went wrong or how I should do it differently. My request for help to understand the problem in more depth was ignored.

Currently, I’m focusing on reviewing a variety of guidelines (hypertension, paediatrics, Canadian task force and preventative health) and reading articles related to the various 105 priority topics.

Does anyone have resources or advice related to these topics or any tips or resources for neurodivergent residents/doctors? Please feel free to respond here or DM me. I’d love any guidance. Thanks!
