The patient load that a candidate is used to and comfortable handling will be an important evaluation factor for the institution you are interviewing with. Your interviewer asks about your current and past patient loads to get a feel for how you can join their practice and hit the ground running on your first day.

Speak openly and honestly about your current practice and the number of patients you see daily. It is good to outline what you are used to for timeframes for new patient consults and follow-up appointments. As you answer, be sure your interviewer walks away knowing that you can handle any patient volume thrown your way in this role.

"On my outpatient clinic days, I see around 18-20 patients daily. Follow-up appointments are scheduled for 20 minutes, and new patient consults are always scheduled for 30 minutes. This is a great patient load because it helps ease the burdens some clinics face and allows ample time for patient charting."

Ideally, I would like 30 minutes to see new patients and 15-20 minutes for reviews depending on their complexity. I know this is often not the reality, especially when patients are booked as reviews are often new to the current registrar. I often like to obtain clinic lists at the start of the week, and review previous documentation and types of the blood of patients booked into shorter clinic slots in advance, so I can spend most of the clinic appointment speaking to the patient about what is important to them to guide further care.
