Hi,
I just started MSIII and one week done w/ my neurology rotation. I can say that I am liking the rotation so far and everyone in my team is fine except the chief resident. He has problems w/ other residents constantly and is overworked,angry and condescending all the time and he has made me feel really stupid at times. Having very little preclinical experience myself I will admit I have made a few mistakes in my physical exams in front of residents and attendings but I try my best to learn as many new things as I can. I asked my attending about my performance so far and he said all he is looking for is the "attitude" and says I am doing fine so far. I am worried that not getting along with the chief resident will result in bad evals and a poor grade. In our syllabus it says that 50% of the grade is determined by attending, 40% shelf and 10% residents; but I am thinking since our attending has so little time to spend w/ medstudents he will rely more on residents to evaluate me and hence poor eval for me. I guess I am just asking whether I should be worried about this since its my 1st rotation, is there any suggestions on what I can be doing to make a better impression now?
