I will be starting my Psych residency this year and am feeling a little lost. I studied (and did 2 years of residency) in Europe and was lucky enough to get a pre-match without any USCE. I am sure the system is not that different from what I know (Germany) but I am still expecting to be totally lost in the beginning. Maybe someone can answer a few questions for me.
1) What procedures are you expected to already be able to do? Especially during the med and neuro rotations... central line placement, lumbal puncture etc..
2) Are there any good books that go through things such as patient note writing, charts etc. I am sure the format is different here than I am used to.
3) What does an average day look like when on the in patient wards. When are rounds? etc
Sorry if these questions seem dumb but I am nervous to get thrown into an unfamiliar system.
Thanks for the help!!
