Attending Workload

I have spent my entire career at the same academic medical center. Over the years, having talked with colleagues elsewhere & graduates who have taken positions elsewhere, I have learned that there is great variance in attending/faculty workload.

At my large academic medical center, one faculty/attending is responsible for ~6-10 beds inpatient. With residents rotating through each service, and responsible for the same beds as the attending.

Now we also have our research, admin, outpt which also factors into how many months we spend on the inpatient units.

So my question for you is what is your workload, type of institution?

Do you feel it is too high? For learning etc?
