Surgery, SFGH

2. What books/tools did you use for this rotation? Tell us which ones were absolutely necessary, somewhat helpful, or total waste of money. Also tell us how you used them.

Surgical Recall: good for wards PreTest: essential NMS Casebook: great First Aid for Surgery: not that good. too many lists made this book difficult to study from

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

on call every 6 days. there were days when we left fairly early because there was nothing to do. other days were as late as 6:30 or 7.

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

I used pretest and nms casebook. both were very good, I thought. I wished that I had started earlier, done a lot more questions, and worked really really fast during the actual exam.

This one is different because everyone is part of one big team. Rounds were sometimes painful because there’s one huge team of maybe 20 people, and it’s hard to hear what’s going on. One person is usually presenting in a soft voice only to the R4. It was helpful to get a big bag full of supplies in order to be able to take down and replace dressings on rounds. We figured out that we should be going ahead to check which patients needed dressings taken down and have them down by the time the team got to the patient’s room. You can also go ahead and make sure that all the charts are there on the rack before the team gets to a particular floor. Clinics were a little crazy. Sometimes all the attendings had left while you were seeing a patient, and then there was no one to present to. It was important to get on the good side of the nurses working in the clinic. If not, things won’t go so smoothly. They can be helpful if you ask questions in a really really nice way. If you decide to go to Breast Clinic, stick with Drs. Luce or Alvarado. Both of them were amazing. The nurse practitioners on the team were a great wealth of information. They are willing to show you how to pull out chest tubes, take out staples, etc. and can help you find things that you need. I found it was great to be in the OR with Drs. Cohen, Campbell, Dicker, Horn and Schecter. Dr. Mahnkani (sp?)from Plastics is amazing and really great to hang out with. He is very approachable if you want to scrub in on one of his cases. Dr. Lu from Neurosurg was great too.

surgery, highland

2. What books/tools did you use for this rotation? Tell us which ones were absolutely necessary, somewhat helpful, or total waste of money. Also tell us how you used them.

Surgical recall–necessary for pimping protection PreTest–a little useful for shelf exam, not worth buying Case Files (by Dr. Campbell)–very useful to know what’s going on in clinic, how to work up patients, and useful for shelf exam

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

every week, all night, you don’t leave the hospital, rarely any sleep BUT most learning

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

it’s just really hard and there’s nothing you can do about it. if you want to ace it, start reading the first week and keep reading every night.

5. Comment on one or more aspect of the rotation as it pertains to: 1) How you survived the rotation 2) What you felt you did well and how you did it 3) mistakes you made and how to avoid them 4) What you did to make the residents’ life easier 5) If, when, and how you found time to read 6) Pointers on how do well on: H&Ps, oral presentation, record keeping, professionalism, self-improvement, and working well with the health care team. 7) Best and worse aspects of the rotation How often you were pimped and how 9) Names of awesome teachers to work with 10) Clinic vs inpatient experience 11) medical contitions or surgeries you saw 12) Anything else that comes to mind

your only option at highland is to have fun. if you don’t, well, your life will be miserable. it’s an amazing experience but you have to make sure to be proactive. i was just always excited to be there, did my work, helped with scut but made sure to go to the OR when i wanted to. scut is the intern’s job! it is nice to help out, but you are there to learn. don’t spend too much time on the H&P’s, write them up like detailed consult evaluations, not treatises on a certain disease: the extra effort you have to put in in order to get out an “excellent” is NOT worth it, unless you are absolutely sure you want to be a surgeon. i would say the worst part of the rotation is the hours. call nights are brutal, especially if you are not a night person. BUT that is when you will learn the most, do the most, and as i said earlier, a time to have fun.

Surgery, Highland

2. What books/tools did you use for this rotation? Tell us which ones were absolutely necessary, somewhat helpful, or total waste of money. Also tell us how you used them.

NMS Surgery – good tables and clinical cases. PreTest – questions to practice before the shelf. Shelf was awful, not much surgery on it. I wish I had done more of the PreTest book and learned how to answer those questions really fast.

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

5-6 times on call. Weekday call: come in to preround whenever you come in and then stay until the next day. They say you can leave by 7-8 but I never managed to make it out of the hospital before 10am. Weekend call is 7am Sat or Sun to 8am (or really 10…) the next day. I got to sleep 1 hr max, but you learn a lot and you get to do a lot of procedures and consults so it was worth it.

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

I wish I had done more questions and done them faster. A lot of us ran out of time on the exam, I think.

All of the attendings at Highland are awesome and excited about teaching so ask them all the questions you want! And the patients are great and very receptive to having students work with them. All in all, the drive was well worth it. As far as making day to day stuff work better: paperwork. Highland has a lot of paperwork you have to fill out (more so than some of the other sites). If you learn how to fill out discharge papers (from the floor and from same day surgery), admit/transfer orders, and preop checks sooner rather than later you’ll be set.

I just used Blueprints Pediatrics and liked it. Don’t think you need more than one reference book. Plus I used Up to Date a lot

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

Inpatient 3 weeks, 7am-6pm (roughly), 3 weeknights of call till around 9pm, then 1 weekend day of call 8am-5pm Outpatient 3 weeks: no call, roughly 8am-430pm

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

Just read Blueprints and reviewed the materials from the weekly teaching sessions with the chief resident.

2. What books/tools did you use for this rotation? Tell us which ones were absolutely necessary, somewhat helpful, or total waste of money. Also tell us how you used them.

Blueprints Pediatrics – used for reviewing/downtime in outpatient clinic & ER Do not buy books! — they are all available in the library on the 6th floor.

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

Call was Q weekly with two weekend call days over the course of the rotation. On inpatient, arrived at 7am, left at 7pm. On well-baby nursery, arrived at 7am, got out at 5pm. On outpatient arrived at 8 (or 9!) and left at 5-6pm.

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

Re-skimmed the reading material that was given to us for our didactic sessions. The exam was very low-key.

3. Avoid bringing toys into an outpatient visit where there is more than one kid – they may fight over the toy(s) and start crying! Even if you’ve brought two very nice toys!! 4. Take as much initiative in caring for outpatient kids as possible (including looking up dosing, writing prescriptions, calling in prescriptions). Also: writing notes for the inpatient team PROMPTLY! 5. Read during outpatient part of the rotation. 8. Pimped by Dr. Diaz during a morning lecture. Bring an anatomy textbook if he is giving a talk. It’s ok to look the stuff up right there – it’s not ok to not know the answers! 9. Awesome teachers: attendings: CAROL MILLER!!!, Seth Bokser. residents: Minou Le-Carlson, Sharon Chen.

Case Files–Peds, pretty helpful Blueprints–Peds, decently helpful. You are also supplied with Rudolph’s and Current Peds text during the rotation if you choose to use them Uptodate on your patients is probably easiest and most directly useful.

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

7 calls during the rotation total, 1 Friday, 1 Sat, 1 Sun. Weekday get out at 10 PM, weekend is entire day

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

Some downtime during the afternoons is helpful time to read. Lots of the experience depends on who you work with, but the residents, attendings, and NPs are on the whole extremely friendly. Patient population is wonderful and appreciative of your help.

Peds, Parnassus

2. What books/tools did you use for this rotation? Tell us which ones were absolutely necessary, somewhat helpful, or total waste of money. Also tell us how you used them.

First AID for the wards- helpful as an overview of common conditions First Exposure Pediatrics (Lange series)- appropriate level of detail for an MS3 (more than blueprints), easy to read

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

Outpatient (x 3 weeks): 1 weeknight/wk in Moffit ED and 1 weekend day (8am-5pm), left by about 11pm. Good practice taking H&P’s in acute setting. Nursery (x 1 week): 1 weeknight until 11pm; get to go to deliveries if happen Inpatient (x 2 weeks): 1 weeknight/wk (until 11pm) and 1 weekend day. Not much happened on my call nights.

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

Reviewed the packets they distributed at the beginning of block, reviewed pediatrics section from First AID for the Wards, read some chapters from my Lange series book. Would have read some of the information in the packets more carefully if i were to do it again; test follows the outlined topics that they give you so just be familiar with those.

5.

Most of the residents and interns were oustanding and very supportive. Be aware that outpatient vs. nursery vs. inpatient are all very different environments so it’s almost like starting a new rotation every few weeks. Inpatient on 6L is definitely the most intense part of the rotation, but can really vary week to week. Had an outstanding experience at Mt.Zion for outpatient, would absolutely recommend it- they are very committed to teaching and ensuring you have a good experience there. Great place to learn basics of pediatrics. Nursery was busy and didn’t get as much teaching as I would have liked. Inpatient blue team was very busy; fabulous residents and interns but hardly any time for teaching. Limited contact with attendings. Complex patients that could be overwhelming, but also interesting; won’t get common conditions. Try to make your notes succinct and get them done early to make your resident happy. If have Dr. Rosenthal as attending know about biliary atresia, delta bilirubin, the Kasai procedure (including Kasai’s first name, the length of the bowel loop and why can’t be shorter), and cholangitis and keep your presentations fairly brief.

None! You can really make it through this rotation with just the packets they provide for you. The directors also emphasize the fact that you don’t need a book. They provide you with a Harriet Lane pediatric handbook that none of us used.

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

3 wks outpatient: 1 night of call/wk in the ED (10 or 11pm is standard, they often let you go as early as 8), one weekend call (9-5, or 9-2 if you’re lucky) 1 wk nursery: 1 night of weekday call (till 11) 2 wks inpatient: 1 night weekday call/wk (one night I was there until 7, one night until midnight)

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

Studied from the packets they gave us for our weekly teaching sessions. Did most of the studying the day before the test. The test is very reasonable and covers more or less exactly what they told us it would.

Everyone is welcoming and kind. Feel free to do as much as you want—they’ll be there to support you. Use this rotation as an opportunity to practice interacting with children and making families feel comfortable.

surgical recall – essential surgery case files – essential pretest – ok, but explanations were super long – and questions on exam were a lot harder

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

call was q 6 – get there in the am, at 5:15 or 5:30 if on elective, a lil before 7 if on burns or trauma, and then you still until after lecture the next afternoon – so like at least 5 pm

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

i read surgical recall, did case files, and did pretest – i rpobably would have done the lange questions in addition or instead of pretest because there were more questions and explanations were shorter

I only used Blueprints, which was helpful and sufficient

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

While on L&D, my typical day was 5:45am to 6pm. Clinic days finished earlier…usually by 5pm. I was on call about once a week, which meant I stayed overnight until 8am the next day. I usually slept about 1-2 hrs on call.

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

I studied Blueprints. There were a lot of random questions on the shelf exam that were not covered in Blueprints. In many ways, Blueprints is analagous to First Aid when studying for the boards. It takes care of the basics, but not the random questions.

Fresno is a relatively chill environment. It’s not a big time academic institution, so you don’t have the level of stress from high profile attendings and gunning residents. You also get lots of hands on experience. In addition, I’ve heard male students getting rejected by patients in many of the San Francisco sites. This does not happen in Fresno. Spanish is a plus, as is a willingness to get involved without much preparation. All in all, I had a great experience and would recommend it to anybody looking to get hands on during their OB rotation

Parnassus can be summed up at lots of OR time, but probably not as much “hands on” experience as trauma locations, great attendings, a few stressed out residents, great lectures, light call schedule, light SCUT, interesting elective rotations (eg vascular, KTU, LTU, peds), and interesting and rare cases. Do red surgery if you want to get ER consult time.

This was a great rotation with great didactic. For nursery, I’d recommend reading up in advance about pertinent nursery issues such as hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal sepsis, TTN, mother-infant bonding, and breast feeding. Urgent care was great, although very fast paced. There’s not much time for reading and looking things up at first, but things get easier as the week progresses. Try to to keep up with reading on core topics (asthma/eczema, infectious diseases, abdominal concerns, injuries).

bring surgical recall and read it during the down time…you’ll often get back too late to read

1. Tell us the rotation AND site you just completed (ex. OBGYN, Kaiser Oakland)

Surgery, Highland

2. What books/tools did you use for this rotation? Tell us which ones were absolutely necessary, somewhat helpful, or total waste of money. Also tell us how you used them.

You need Recall. Liu’s book Case Files is an easy way to learn a lot and useful for the shelf. Others used NMS, Blueprints. Pretest is helpful but don’t be fooled if you start to answer those q’s right–the shelf is more difficult!

3. Describe your call schedule. Ex. # days on call, what time you realistically got out, etc.

Take call like once/twice a week and front load it so that you don’t have to take a lot of call towards the end. You work hard on call.

4. How did you prepare for the finishing exam/shelf exam. How would you prep differently if you could do it again.

Study when you can starting in the beginning and take every chance to see cases that are bread and butter shelf stuff, like AAA repair even if you’re not on vascular. Bone up on the fancy stuff that the Parnassus kids get to see all the time.

Work hard, be brave. Be somewhat afraid of clinic but do your best–it’s a great opportunity to help your pts.
