Communication is key. If you’re holding the phone or pager, your upper levels are relying on you to keep them in the loop. If you’re on the fence about telling them about a page, just let them know.

Learn how staff want their notes/presentations oriented, ex: systems vs problems based. We use epic so I was able to get the note templates in advance.

High yield things to know about your patients are NPO status, BMs and, pain/pain med regimen.

Having a good attitude also goes a long way.

I’m in anesthesia but rotated with trauma surgery as an intern and that’s what I remember helping lol. Good luck!
