An excerpt from Kendra Campbell’s 8 pointer’s for first-year residents – equally applicable to medical students…
1. Show up early, stay late.2. Know as much as possible about your patients.3. Be BFFs with the nurses.4. Do things without having to be asked. Figure out what needs to be done, and do it (unless it’s a questionable procedure).5. Don’t do anything you feel uncomfortable doing!6. Always ask questions and inform your higher ups …You will never get in trouble for asking questions or asking for help, but you WILL get in trouble for NOT asking questions or not asking for help!
