Hi friends! I hope you enjoyed this video on mistakes you should avoid making during your clinical rotations! What are some mistakes you've made or would warn others to avoid? What about great tips, what do you think you should be doing during your rotations!? Let me know along with any questions you have below!
Can’t wait to be done with 3rd year rotations. Giving a presentation longer than 90 seconds and reading the minds of attendings/residents as to determine if too long or short is absolute BS. See ya IM and Surgery, EM, here I come!
I advise students to not merely ask a lot of questions, but ask to present cases. Present briefly e.g. < 1 minute and clearly: list symptoms and time course, aggravating/ameliorating factors, disease risk factors/potential etiological factors, relevant diagnostic test results, and treatments received and treatment responses. Know how to interpret each data element, each symptom, test result and treatment response. Find the relevant diagnostic/treatment algorithm in "Up To Date" and tell the attending what you think should be done and why e.g. "In my opinion, we should do ... because ...". Be honest, if you do not know, say "I do not know." This communicates you have good judgement in knowing your limits. You communicate you are a self learner, competent and ready to assume higher responsibility of a resident.
mastering oral presentations are key!! but they are definitely hard for medical students just starting out on rotations those to-do lists came in handy all the time! what great tips :)

Are you Canadian or British? This is a different process for clinicals.
Does the checking on pts mulitiple times only apply in the hospital or would you also attempt to do this in clinic as well?
Hard to do this in clinic as you only see them once before presenting.
I’m reluctant to take advice from someone who made me waste my money on OnlineMedEd. Never again!
