I am a D2 and do pretty well in both didactic and Lab, however, i will be starting clinic soon and would like to know what is the best way to utilize my last few months in Pre-Clinic, while I am still practicing on a mannequin. Any suggestions?

Success in clinic depends a lot on your efficiency. Create a list of instruments and supplies for each procedure, print and laminate. Consult your upper classmates for that. You should have manuals for each procedure printed and ready as well. This way you will know what to do and have everything you need in your cubicle. You may wish to have those lists on your phone, but clinics often do not allow phones due to infection protocol. Practice indirect vision and make sure you have light on your loupes
