Disclaimer: This guide was developed in the hopes of providing some explanation of each of the rotations during your third year at UHNBC, as well as templates relevant to each of the rotations. This guide was created in 2020, and things are bound to change. Therefore, make sure to always check with your DSSL or rotation administration if you have questions. The templates provided are one approach that can be used during your rotations. You may have a different approach or they may not be applicable to certain clinical situations or have all the details you need- so use them wisely.
There are 3 important things you need to know about for a successful clerkship, and you really only need to have 2/3 of them. You need to:
Be likeable/be yourself - kind, keen, funny, chill...
Be professional - on time, dressed for success....
Be smart and prepared
So you can relax, you only need 2 out of 3!
