TREAT EVERY ROTATION LIKE YOU WANT TO GO INTO IT.

- You should be so enthusiastic that the attending and residents think you want to do it
- Never tell them youre not interested in it/ would never do it. This is their entire
career.
- This will be the last time you ever do that rotation.

Uptodate app on your phone.

Poop peed walking eating.

If you didn't change wounds tell them what the bandage looked like but ask if they need u

Know patients surgical history (in case they ask). Don't have to say it in the presentation

Age etc

Go inside OR with a mask before scrubbing in.

Ask resident how to present vitals (range or max or most pertinent or most recent)

Ask the nurse what happened in the prior shift to get you up to

Look up the past 24 hours stuff.

That's what you write your note on.
write a one liner on your note. What happened in 24 hours.
Then talk about the rest.

Presentation should be 1 min. Very short.

Learn how to suture with your hands and do knots.

How can I improve? What can I do to get better?

Feedback: "I think I may not be good at ---. What can I do to improve?"

Be genuine in asking
Ask where to cut suture

Bring your own things in to OR before you go scrub wash

Tenderness is a big deal with them. Don't say normal tenderness is tenderensd

even if X-ray isnt read just read it yourself and give them what you think

Questions to ask:

- how would you prefer just in time learning? pull out our phone or do after rounds?
- ask what time would you like to be there? how many patients would you like to follow? how
do you want presentations (detail or facts)?
- should i bring my articles to you or include them in my note
