The Nerd's Guide to Pre-Rounding: A Medical Student's Manual to the Wards
Pre-Rounding: A Medical Student's Guide is a comprehensive how-to guide for third year medical students moving from the classroom to the clinical/hospital setting; a particularly stressful transition in a student-physicians career. This handbook is made up of short, easily digestible passages that advise students on everything from reading an EKG or chest x-ray to tips on dealing with ornery residents and what to wear on wards. Passages are peppered with light hearted anecdotes to bolster the spirits of students intimidated and overwhelmed by their responsibility as fledgling doctors.
