Mistakes To Avoid Making On Your Clinical Rotations

What are the mistakes you should look to avoid when getting ready for your clinical rotations?
As a resident, I have done and now graded rotations. I have noticed some missed opportunities and things you should flat out avoid!
You’d be surprised at how something as simple as clear communication and professionalism are, unfortunately, not practiced by some med students.
This is your chance to get an even better picture of what becoming a doctor is really like, learn on the go, and to make an impression. You will never be 100% perfect at this stage of your journey, nobody is, but it gets you closer to becoming better.
So, if you are a medical student in the first few years of medical school or even a premed, here’s what you should know about clinical rotations!

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!

[@Maddawg31415]

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!

[@matchmadeinmedicine3727]

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 :)

[@AdrienLegendre]

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.

[@TheMDJourney]

Glad you enjoyed them!

[@nonhlanhlanhlapo5438]

I start with rotations in January! These tips will be very helpful.

[@TheMDJourney]

I'm so glad!

[@chinnyopene8695]

How do I not look like a suck up when I’m trying to be more enthusiastic

[@TRIUMPH413]

Be doing my rotation this January 2024… hope to kill it with these tips

[@TheMDJourney]

You got this!

[@fatimiuxang]

I start my rotations on NOVEMBERRR

[@user-nr3xi1xc6z]

Does the checking on pts mulitiple times only apply in the hospital or would you also attempt to do this in clinic as well?

[@TheMDJourney]

Hard to do this in clinic as you only see them once before presenting.

[@nived8476]

Are you Canadian or British? This is a different process for clinicals.

[@MK-oj6hd]

I’m reluctant to take advice from someone who made me waste my money on OnlineMedEd. Never again!
