Read on to ensure you are prepared to enter the professional world and stand out amongst your peers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am beyond excited and privileged to enter the real world of medicine in the upcoming months! At this point, I have taken my boards and have spent a vigorous amount of hours learning about the human body. With this comes an immense responsibility when it comes to providing patients with the highest standard of care. Read on for important tips on how to impress your attending and stand out as a practicing physician!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professionalism\"><\/span>Professionalism<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve heard this term like a broken record. However, there is a reason why our professors and mentors stress this over and over again. As future health professionals, we are expected to act like leaders and healers; we need to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/2020\/07\/27\/what-inclusive-medicine-means-to-me\">earn our patients\u2019 trust.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to practice professionalism, remember that we are students and preceptors are taking extra time out of their busy schedules to teach us. Come prepared! Arrive at the clinic early, 30 to 60 minutes in advance depending on the specialty, and pre-round on your patients. Dress well and keep yourself tidy. Don\u2019t gossip about your patients in the hallways or elevators. Treat your co-workers and patients with the utmost respect. Advocate for your patients\u2019 well-being and dignity. If you see a patient walking the hallways exposed, please offer to tie their gown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conduct yourself with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/2020\/05\/20\/why-i-wear-a-tie-every-day-even-though-i-dont-have-to\">professionalism<\/a>\u00a0outside of the medical setting. If you\u2019re at a social event outside the clinic, don\u2019t drink yourself to death. Lastly, if your attending yells at you or says something inappropriate, do not complain to hospital administration. This may sever your school\u2019s relationship with that specific hospital and your experience during that rotation may suffer as a result. This is an unfortunate reality of medicine. If there is an issue with professionalism, contact your school\u2019s leadership and let them handle it. Acting professionally will go a long way and your attending will surely notice it.\u00a0it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"701\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/2024-09-11T183328.739.png\" alt=\"A doctor looking proffessionaly in a hospital.\" class=\"wp-image-2347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/2024-09-11T183328.739.png 701w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/2024-09-11T183328.739.png?resize=300,200 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Do_Will_Do\"><\/span>Can Do, Will Do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a third year medical student, you are expected to work long hours and complete the minimum to pass. If you want to stand out, you must be willing to go the extra mile. When your attending offers you to scrub in on an extra case in the OR, you must take advantage of the opportunity. If there\u2019s a procedure that you\u2019re not too familiar with, offer to help and suture at the end of the case. Your attending will surely make note of this and allow you to sit in on more cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same applies to rotations that you\u2019re not particularly fond of. Obviously you can get by and do the bare minimum, but all it takes is one satisfactory rotation grade or negative letter of recommendation to deter a student from matching into your dream residency or job. My advice is to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/2020\/02\/25\/approaching-patient-encounters-with-compassion\">work even harder<\/a>&nbsp;during the rotations that may bring you out of your comfort zone. Not only will this help you as a healthcare professional, it will demonstrate resiliency and it is certainly something you can discuss during your interview. The more opportunities you take advantage of, the more trust your attending will place in you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/How_to_Impress_your_Attendings_in_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2192 Learn how to impress your attendings with tips from four expert clinicians<\/a><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Good_Luck\"><\/span>Good Luck!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a second year medical student, like many of you reading this, I am uncertain of how this third year will go. But I do have enough medical experience outside of the classroom where I think my advice could be helpful to you, especially for those that have not had much guidance over the first couple of years. I wish you the best of luck going forward &#8211; whether you\u2019re a first year or preparing to enter residency (flattering if you\u2019ve read this post).
