I know you introduce as student doctor, but that is all a pre-med knows 😛 I would wash before the physical. But that is just me with common sense.

I find it a little jarring introducing myself as a student, yet acting as if I were a physician. Yeah, yeah, there's this thing called third and fourth years, but still.

At our school, we were told to wash before shaking hands. FA CS says wash before physical exam.
 
wash your hands.
touch the patient.
call yourself doctor if you want to.



yup. I think I did the student doctor introduction, but we were told that we could just use Dr.


I washed right before the physical. I didn't shake hands when I went in the room as that isn't my normal routine at all with real patients. I did make sure that I used their fake names as I went in the room.
