Learn the secrets that set apart the honors from the
average medical student
Some students excel in their clerkships, while others
remain average. What sets apart these top students?
Compiled from discussions with hundreds of faculty,
residents, and students, along with extensive review of
the literature, this evidence-based guide was written
with the express intent of answering that question.
Inside:
- Residents and attending physicians use different
criteria to evaluate students. What criteria do they
value more highly?
- A study looking at "difficult" students, from the
standpoint of attending physicians, found that the shy,
or nonassertive student, was one of three major problem
types. What are the other major problem types?
- The clinical evaluation of students is far from
perfect. Evaluators can be affected by a variety of
factors, some of which may lead to ratings that are
lower than the student deserves. What are these factors
and what can you do to increase the chances that you are
evaluated fairly?
- Students are not able to do their best work until
they become comfortable in their new rotation. What can
you do to become more comfortable sooner rather than
later?
- Personality factors have been shown in several
studies to impact a student's evaluation. In one study,
an important identifiable personality factor was
identified that impacted evaluations. What was this
factor?
Featuring discussion of these issues and more,
this book will provide you with a specific strategy for
success during the most important year of medical
school.
