Episode 44. If you are in medical school (or in training for any health profession), this is for you! I just finished my core rotations of my third year of medical school and wanted to share with you some tips that worked for me and things I wish I knew before starting rotations.
If you want perfect scores on your preceptor evaluations, there are two elements I would argue are most important: staying professional and reacting well to feedback. The word professionalism is likely to make medical students roll their eyes, but professionalism really does capture what should be in the forefront of your mind when on clinical rotations. It doesn't just apply to how to interact with your preceptor but also the nursing staff, other students, and the patients, too. While focusing on these goals, I also share in this episode what you should bring to rotations, what you must do on day 1 of a new rotation, how to work well with other students, and how to take advantage of downtime.
I have much more to talk about when it comes to clinical rotations, so stay tuned!
