Once you receive onboarding information, feel free to reach out to the
physician/resident beforehand. Let them know who you are and that you
will be joining them for the next X weeks. Keep the message short though,
do not try to say too much; just be genuine.
Email is the most professional outlet to do so, but reaching out via cell
phone is also widely accepted nowadays
Practitionet (practitionet.com) is a program you can look into for assistance
with reaching out and getting connected
Once you have your schedule, check the list of patient cases for your week
so you can read about them in advance. If you do this, then you can:
Read up on the basic science and interventions regarding the disease.
Understand any possible implications, next steps in management and more
Know what to look for when you are operating or rounding on the case.
This does not only include what is typical for different diseases, but what
may also be irregular presentations of the same diseases.
Note what to expect in terms of development based on age of presentation
If time allows, head over to the location that you will be rotating at and get
a lay of the land beforehand.
Knowing your drugs, how they work, 1st, 2nd and 3rd line for each
diagnosis is important. The biggest thing Psychiatrists like to pimp on is
drugs, uses and side effects.

Understand your intention with this rotation.
Are you interested in specializing in psychiatry? Perfect! Use this as the opportunity to really dive in,
learn, make connections, and get better at your craft. See as many patients as you can, ask to practice
techniques, etc.
Not sure if you are interested in psychiatry? That’s fine! That is the whole point of the rotation. Use this
time to dive in and really get your full experience. That way you can walk away from your rotation
knowing you for sure want to do surgery, or for sure do not.
No interest in psychiatry at all? Again, totally fine. But, keep this in mind: you have the next X weeks to
have your experience in psychiatry for potentially the rest of your life. Live your experience to the
fullest, and still be eager to learn as you can transfer a lot of your lessons into other rotations and
specialties.
Also keep in mind that your preceptor’s evaluation is still something that residency programs will see. It
is still important to work hard and make a good impression.
Remember, oftentimes the patients you are seeing are in a much different mind state than you.
Remember to always be respectful and mindful with whatever you may see.

Building genuine rapport with your patients is

so important to helping your patients. Greeting
them with a smile, showing sympathy when you
can and letting them on certain topics can be
helpful, especially when patients may feel more
comfortable expressing a sensitive topic to you
and not the preceptor. Sharing that information
for the preceptor can be even more helpful for
them too!

Timelines are everything! Understanding the

timeline of diagnoses will be helpful
throughout your rotation, for example:
Schizoaffective Disorder, Schizophreniform &
Schizophrenia have distinct timelines and can
easily be confused.
You can use my PSYCH cards which
have all timelines bolded

clinical reference cards set

during your Psych rotation

If you see a very unique/interesting case during your time rotating, ask your
preceptor if you can potentially write it up. This is a great chance for you to get
published!
Ask your preceptor for feedback. There is always room to improve so be willing to
ask and receive feedback. Now, learn from this and implement the feedback.
Ask questions! As much as psychiatrists will pimp you out, it is also okay for you to
ask questions. This shows them that you are here to learn. It is always better to look
like an open learner rather than a know-it-all; trust me, what you think you know, the
psychiatrist knows 100 times more.
Be fully present during patient encounters - make eye contact, avoid distraction,
silence electronics.
Practice reflective listening skills - repeat back key statements showing your
understanding.
Ask open-ended questions that can't be answered with just yes or no to encourage
storytelling.
Also ask about strengths, supports, reasons for living - not just symptoms.
Present patient cases thoroughly with abundant subjective detail and good
descriptive language. Strive to describe their internal experience.
Pay attention to diagnosis-related behaviors - flat affect in depression, pressured
speech in mania, labile affect with borderline personality
Useful apps to use while you are in clinic:
Hospitalist Handbook helps you quickly learn how to approach different
diseases or conditions that are common in the hospital setting.
Epocrates helps get you clinical decision support, and saves time with
prescribing. This not only helps with choosing medications, but also with
dosing.
MDCalc is a free app that allows you to calculate different risk/score
calculations.
UpToDate helps you find the most up-to-date information in medicine
regarding diagnoses, management, and treatment.

clinical reference cards set

after your Psych rotation

Consider leaving a thank you note for the psychiatrist on your last day. If possible,
even a thoughtful little gift (ex. Their favorite candy, etc.). Physicians really
appreciate knowing that you took something away from their rotation and so
showing that gratitude goes miles. Seeing that you even took the time to write out a
note over texting/emailing them also shows them how thoughtful you are.
If this is the field you want to pursue, definitely try to maintain a long term
relationship with this physician. Write a follow up letter 2 weeks after your rotation
has ended. Talk about what the experience meant to you. Let them know you
appreciated their mentorship and would be happy to work together in the future in
some medium. Maybe even setting up some further shadowing.
If this is the field you want to pursue, consider them for a letter of recommendation.
An important thing to consider for an LOR is one that would have an institution's
letterhead.
Reflect on your capacity for empathy, cultural sensitivity, and comfort with
ambiguous situations. Identify areas for personal and professional growth.

If time allows, head over to the location that you will be rotating at and get a
lay of the land beforehand.
If you have OB before surgery definitely look up and practice scrubbing in.
C-sections are really fast paced so don’t expect a lot of guidance from the
scrub techs/nurses about scrubbing in.
Know your reproductive anatomy well. Gynecologists love to pimp on
reproductive anatomy. If you can be prepared for that, you will shine!

Also keep in mind that your preceptor’s evaluation is still something that
residency programs will see. It is still important to work hard and make a good
impression.
Don’t be afraid to speak up and ask to try certain things. This is one of those
rotations where you have to ask/look for opportunities, they won’t be
presented for you.
Gynecologists love students who show interest, and more times than not, if you
ask if you can try something they will let you. At the very least, if they cannot,
they will show you how to.
If you see a very unique/interesting case during your time rotating, ask your
preceptor if you can potentially write it up. This is a great chance for you to get
published!

If you are a Male, make sure to be respectful of the patient’s privacy. Always
state what you will be doing and ask for consent.
Ask your preceptor for feedback. There is always room to improve so be willing
to ask and receive feedback. Now, learn from this and implement the feedback.
Ask questions! As much as gynecologists will pimp you out, it is also okay for
you to ask questions. This shows them that you are here to learn. It is always
better to look like an open learner rather than a know-it-all; trust me, what you
think you know, the gynecologist knows 100 times more.
Use the nurses around you. You can learn so much about reading fetal strips,
cervical checks, and management tips of expectant mothers, while going
through labor, all from nurses.
Be sure to pay attention to what week of
gestation your patient is at, and to ask
respective screening questions.
Be ready at any time for potential births
during your shift. When paged for delivery,
drop what you are doing and go
immediately.
Pay attention to patient cues during pelvic
exams about discomfort/pain levels.
Provide enough lubricating gel, warm
speculum, prevent over-extension of limbs.
Before assisting in OR, know surgical
reasoning and key steps to procedures
you'll see often - C sections,
hysterectomies, salpingectomies, dilation
and curettage.

Make sure to introduce yourself every shift you are on the L&D, so the staff is
familiar with you. Ask how you can help as well. Showing initiative goes a long
way and shows your willingness to be a team player.
For women going through labor, understand that they are going through a very
uncomfortable experience right now. Try to be comforting and be encouraging.
Giving birth is hard and painful!
Show interest in all patients, not just complex cases.
The 15-minute return OB visit may seem mundane but each patient
deserves focused attention.
Develop pattern recognition between presentation and possible etiologies.
Low back pain and irregular periods can signal endometriosis.
Heavy, painful periods can mean adenomyosis or fibroids.
Ask about associated symptoms.

Useful apps to use while you are in clinic:

Hospitalist Handbook helps you quickly learn how to approach different
diseases or conditions that are common in the hospital setting.

Holistic Approach:
Consider the whole patient: age, comorbidities, allergies, prior infections, potential medication
interactions.
Tailor antibiotic choices based on individual factors, not just the suspected pathogen.
Antibiotic Selection Skills:
Match the likely pathogen to the most appropriate antibiotic based on:
Severity of illness: More severe infections may require broader initial coverage.
Local antibiogram: Choose agents effective against prevalent resistant organisms.
Patient factors: Consider allergies, renal function, potential interactions.
Resources: IDSA Guidelines, UpToDate, hospital antibiogram guidelines.
De-escalation Strategies:
Once cultures and sensitivities are available, switch to the most specific and narrow-spectrum agent
possible.
This minimizes unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic use and reduces risk of resistance
development.
Side Effect & Interaction Management:
Be mindful of potential adverse effects associated with each antibiotic choice.
Monitor for drug interactions and adjust medications if necessary.
Patient Communication:
Explain your rationale for antibiotic selection, potential side effects, and expected course of
treatment.
Address patient concerns and empower them to report any adverse effects.
Embrace Uncertainty:
Infectious diseases often involve incomplete information and evolving diagnoses.
Be comfortable adapting your plan based on new clinical findings and culture results.
Ask Questions:
Don't hesitate to seek clarification from senior residents, attendings, or infection control specialists.
The best way to learn is by actively seeking answers and engaging in discussions.
Active Participation:
Participate in rounds and presentations to showcase your understanding and contribute to patient
care discussions.
This is an opportunity to learn from others and build confidence in your clinical reasoning.
Utilize Resources:
Electronic resources like UpToDate, Epocrates, MDCalc can provide quick access to guidelines,
drug information, and clinical decision support tools.
