First time poster on sdn. Currently a fourth year osteopathic medical student who is way off schedule (just started my fourth year in October). Have made a mess out of my med school and need guidance and mentoring. Currently still have to take the comlex CE and PE. I have been doing below average on rotations but passing.
how do I make the most of rotations. More specifically I am trying to obtain the necessary skills and knowledge, which has been a struggle for me to do. One of my classmates told me to see as many patients as possible and read uptodate to grow my knowledge base. I want to be able to use my study time to actually be of practical use when it comes to patient care etc. Any advice? How to retain what you read? What sources are good for clinically relevant knowledge?
