  19. DO: Make life easier for your team/preceptor – be helpful Show enthusiasm Make yourself available Demonstrate your knowledge Ask for and respond to feedback Read on at least one topic seen in clinic nightly Take ownership of your patient DON’T: Disappear Say negative things about other physicians Pretend you know an answer when you don’t Study so much that patient care suffers Stay on your computer or phone Tips for Performing Well Clinically

  20. A word about preceptors • Your preceptors are appointed clinical faculty in the department of pediatrics • Preceptors are busy physicians, community leaders, partners, spouses, parents, etc, in other words…HUMAN • You are important to them, but not always the first thing on their list • Mutually respect and learn from your differences and similarities • You will have one lead preceptor, but expect to interact with everyone in the practice or community • Meet the preceptors: • http://www.vcom.edu/pediatrics/faculty.html

  21. Individual Site Instructions for Students: • Please access the student portal for individual instructions at your rotation sites. • Most sites will ask you to be at the office M-F from 8am-5pm. Hours and expectations vary between different sites and even between individual physicians. • If your physician is working on the weekend or after office hours and asks you to participate, this is expected and can be an important part of the learning process. • It is YOUR responsibility to contact your site preceptor or coordinator prior to the first day of your rotation to ask about time and location of your first day.

  22. Individual Site Instructions • You should inform your preceptor on the first day if there will be any absences during your rotation (such as VCOM required functions) • Ask your preceptor for feedback…they will be evaluating your performance at the middle and the end of the month. • Mid-rotation do not count toward your grade, but are useful in correcting problems before they do reflect on your final evaluation

  24. What not to wear

  25. What to Bring!!!! • Bring your white coat…although you may not be required to wear it (most pediatricians do not wear one b/c they can by scary to the children) • Ask your preceptor about his/her preference. • Stethoscope • Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope for some sites • Reading material (in case you have downtime) • You might need a packed lunch (depends on location) • Leave your PDA’s, cell phones, computers in your bag and avoid using them during patient care time • Patient case log • And most importantly… patience and a smile!!!!
