OB/GYN Clerkship - How to Have A Successful Rotation
• Be on time: If you can't, let someone know, particularly a more senior resident, not just your classmate.
• See patients whom you have participated in their care, regardless of the rotation you are on; have the progress notes written and signed before "official" morning rounds.
• When your patients go for special studies, try to go with them. Stay with patients for moral support; if possible find out results, and report to the resident before attending rounds.
• Try to watch interesting procedures even if they do not involve your patients.
• Be enthusiastic; it makes life easier and more fun.
• Don't sit back, get in there! If things get busy and you don't speak up, someone may forget to ask you.
• Most of all, be courteous to everyone; this is a very special time in many people's lives and very uncomfortable at that.
• READ DAILY! This time will pass very quickly. Use the learning objectives from the textbook and the clerkship to help direct your study.
• Ask if you are not sure!
