Episode 45. This is my second episode on clinical rotations for medical students (but also applicable to students in other healthcare professions). Topics discussed include what to expect on day 1, what preceptors will expect from you, how to make a good first impression, how to approach the physical exam in a patient you are assigned to see, why you should show up early everyday, what to do before your rotation starts, how to impress your preceptors, how to be an active learner, how to ask thoughtful questions, what to do and not do during rounds, how to make a differential diagnosis, and why you need to know everything about your patients.
