If you are expected to pre-round you should give yourself at least 10 minutes per patient that you are following to see the patient and learn about the events that occurred overnight. Like all working professionals you will face occasional obstacles to punctuality but make sure this is occasional. When you first start a rotation try to show up at least 15 minutes early until you get the routine figured out. Dress in a Professional Manner Even if the resident wears scrubs and the attending wears stiletto heels you must dress in a professional conservative manner. Wear a short white coat over your clothes unless discouraged as in pediatrics . Men should wear long pants with cuffs covering the ankle a long collared shirt and a tie. No jeans no sneakers no short-sleeved shirts. Women should wear long pants or knee-length skirt blouse or dressy sweater. No jeans no sneakers no heels greater than 11 inches no opentoed shoes. Both men and women may wear scrubs occasionally during overnight call or in the operating room or birthing ward. Do not make this your uniform. Act in a Pleasant Manner The rotation is often difficult stressful and tiring. Smooth out your experience by being nice to be around. Smile a lot and learn everyone s name. If you do not understand or disagree with a treatment plan or diagnosis do not challenge. Instead say I m sorry I don t quite understand could you please explain . . . Try to look interested to attendings and residents. Sometimes this stuff is boring or sometimes you re not in the mood but when someone is trying to teach you something look grateful and not tortured. Always treat patients professionally and with respect. This is crucial to practicing good medicine but on a less important level if a resident or attending spots you being impolite or unprofessional it will damage your grade and evaluation quicker than any dumb answer on .
