round through noon, so make sure you get a chance to eat (especially if youre
feeling hypoglycemic!) Some students were able to get out early in the day if they
started rounding earlier, and if the attending didnt take a long time to round.
However, in general, inpatient can be MUCH busier than outpatient. There are
labs to check on, imaging studies to read, tests to schedule, consults to order, the
list goes on! Take every opportunity to ask questions, jot them down as they come
up and ask the attending when you get a chance more than likely they will
welcome your eagerness and questions!
LECTURES: Lectures are required if you are on-site (at Childrens for In-patient
or out-patient), but are usually exempt if you are off-site for in- or out-patient.
However, most of the answers to the study guides (which are great reviews for
the OSCE and the shelf), are given during these lectures/review sessions, so they
are very important to attend! Also, Dr. Friday takes attendance and this is part of
your professionalism grade that makes up part of your clinical grade.
INPATIENT vs. OUTPATIENT: Most students try to get their inpatient month
first so that they can have more study time the second month, but dont despair
if you have outpatient first. Just schedule your time accordingly and stay on top of
your studying! You will probably see the most general peds on one of the
general peds inpatient teams, but the most specialized teams (Heme/Onc, ID, etc)
are still a good way to see general peds conditions (think sickle cell, anemia, ITP,
asthma, etc), and are also a good way to get some awesome teaching by
specialists that are dedicated to their fields. Even if youre not interested in peds,
its a good way to see some conditions that also present in adult populations.
