Next time DELEGATE some staff member to print out that letter.
Not true at my program. We're treated like attendings in our clinic, as we should...OP is a resident and likely doesn’t have that luxury

Oh trust me, they have other ways of staying on brand. But if you're going to ask residents to run a busy, customer service driven clinic, you better be set up to handle it. That means having support staff who residents can delegate to. Either way, I large part of it comes to sharing resources. I do think its ultimately up to you to explore your resources and seek help, there's nothing in your residency contract that stipulates you can't use support staff. Either way, I fully understand my program is the exception. I think a lot of community and many academic programs have a "residency clinic".Must be nice.
In both residency and fellowship, I wasn’t able to delegate jack **** to anyone…and I think that’s a pretty common theme in many training programs. You are there primarily to be cheap labor, and even at “elite” places, they don’t want you to forget that.
