There’s no doubt that medical school is a wild ride. There’s so much to learn and many challenges to face — but it can also be really exciting. These two sides are most evident in the clinical rotation years. You have to learn how to provide quality patient care, study for Shelf exams, shine in front of your attending, and prepare to be a competitive candidate for residency.
To feel confident during rotations, check out some of the questions that students often have, and see how you can answer them with AMBOSS:
Check out the AMBOSS Clerkship Survival Guides to find everything that you need to know before starting each clerkship. You’ll find guidelines on pre-rounding, rounding, and presenting patients, as well as specialty-specific info.
With the AMBOSS apps, you’ll have all you need to shine during rounds in your pocket — advice on delivering perfect case presentations, management flowcharts, differential diagnoses tables, plus quick access to the information needed to answer your attending’s questions.
Whether you’re looking up info on a patient’s case or thinking about possible treatment plans, the Knowledge app (also known as the “medical Google”) is the tool you need. You’ll find search results in seconds, flowcharts, and more. You can also switch on Clinician Mode in your settings to get even more detailed info on the case at hand.
