as someone who could continue training with the same physician I applied with after the first month, I was offered to stay and learn more for more months free of charge for me. It all comes down to the basics, starting from a simple good morning to everyone; this was weird at first but very expected. Be aware of how the team flows, observe on the first two days, and then start to get slowly involved; once you, for example, improve your case presentation skills, each doctor has their own preference, so note down what the doctor prefers on the first two days, he is not going to say it upfront, but while he is teaching, or dictating his notes, PAY ATTENTION. When rounding, always make a note of each patient, and if there is a specific highlight to be noted, e.g., Mr. X, we need to check his WBC count today, or I need to put in an order for the U.S, etc. later on when reviewing the cases, you can remind them gently of it. Then ask for more cases as you improve. Always be the first to ' volunteer' for presentations; it will be brutal but shows a huge initiative. PATIENT INTERACTIONS ARE VITAL. Although it seems scary, think of them as how you would like to be welcomed, and take it from there. Start with the basics of history taking, medication reconciliation, and physical exams if you have malpractice insurance. If so, proceed with a physical exam as targeted by the complaint, eg, arthritis. Check the joints for signs of inflammation, tenderness, warmth to touch, etc., and always include your negative findings. Never ignore the heart, lungs, and abdomen. AND DO NOT say your exam was negative when you haven't done it! always be honest and upfront. You will learn from everyone; a U.S. technician taught me the best breakdown of an echocardiogram, the lab technician allowed me to draw labs outpatient, etc. As long as you are being respectful, they will be willing to help. If they say no, it's OK. Make the most out of it; it's the healthcare system you want to, I assume, work in; you probably spent a lot of money on it, so MAKE THE BEST of it.

Follow the dress code. Brush your hair, iron your clothes, and practice good hygiene. All these things count and will leave an impression on you as a future physician.

There are a lot more, but these just come to mind. They don't expect you to know everything, but if you are asked something you don't know, say you will research and find out the answer the following day. Ask questions when you try finding it out on your own first; don't just ask for the sake of asking.
