Started my first clerkship (OBGYN) recently and I'm TRYING to do what I can and enjoy it/make the most out of it. However, sometimes I feel a little (a lot) incompetent, stupid, and slow. I have started studying and I will make sure I pass the shelf, as that's something I can partially control. But I am worried about my evaluations and subjective grades.
I am not concerned with honoring everything or anything, I am just worried about passing. A lot of people are saying that if you're not a dick, show up everyday, and do your work as best as you can, you'll pass the clinical aspect. But I've also read some horror stories here where people passed the shelf exam yet failed the clerkship.
Can anyone offer some insight on this? What can you do to pass? Or rather, what must you do to avoid failing? Thank you all.
