I am an IMG and did a pediatrics rotation at a outpatient site which takes students from a DO school. I didn't know how to chart notes initially but I learnt pretty quickly. The attending also used to ask me some questions, most of which i could answer from step 1 and my previous knowledge. At the end of my rotation the attending refused to write me a letter of recommendation, and told she was not comfortable writing one for me. So i just wanted to know that is it because I am not clinically competent. Do students chart treatments for the patients and the attendings just review or just the H&P? Because I didnt chart the treatment and after she would discuss with patient, I would chart. I also could not answer some common antibiotics which are used for ear infection,etc. So us students know all these things. And i did not like the attending from start and she maybe knew. Could that be the reason? Now i have my urogyn rotation with two DO students and they are kind of hostile and competitive. So is this normal among medical students here? I feel very depressed because of all this. If anyone could reply it will be highly appreciated.
