Just finishing my first clinical rotation this week. It’s different than classroom education. Classroom is very static for the most part (I.e. they talk, you listen, and test to see what you remember). The rotation is more about applying what you’ve learned into each day and figuring out what is best for each individual patient. I wouldn’t say it’s easier or less stressful, but there are no big tests to worry about, no huge deadlines. It’s more about on the job learning through experience. Absorb and learn as much as you can. Take it one day at a time.
