hi I'm Sam. I just got into 4th year in medical school. So it's my first year in clinicals. Any advice for me before I face the heat?? Thanks.
 
study everything, be nice to nurses, learn as much as you can from the residents/professors, and have fun!
 
Just wondering why you didn't have clinicals in your 3rd year...?

He's probably in a non US/Canadian med school where they go to 5-6 years of medical school after high school. They do book work for 3 years then 2-3 years of clinicals.
 
yeah I'm not in a US/Canadian medical school. I school in Africa. Here, clinicals begin in 4th year. We do the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry in 2nd and 3rd years. is it the same in US/Canadian medical schools?

And pls what were ur biggest challenges faced as a fresher in clinicals??
thanks
