I say know what to do with the acute things that you might experience overnight:
Acute chest pain
Hypoxia
Severe Hypotension
Severe Hypertension
Codes
The rest you can learn on the job. Don't spend too much time "preparing." Nothing can prep you for intern year. I'm not saying this to scare you but when you get there, you'll realize you just have to learn it on the job (and hopefully you didn't waste some of your 4th year trying to prep).
