What should I do while Waiting for clinicals?

[SMUstudentX]

Anyone one out there have any suggestions what I should study or review while waiting for my Clinical site? It looks like it will be a long wait.

Research other medical schools to transfer to for clinicals! Go this route, and you'll start rotations much earlier than SMU!

Good luck ;P

all the blueprints r good watch out with blueprints peds.... the program director at the place that i did a rotation at chewed me out when i quoted incorrect info from blueprints. he basically told me to throw out blueprints from that point forward because he was tired of med students using that "garbage book."

[AmericanIMG]

did he suggest a better book? peds was the worst of the set for sure...the OB is excellent, as is the surg and medicine.

the psych one was pretty worthless too.

and so true- the attendings hate it when you quote a "review" book...the family med PD asked me what i read the night before and i figured i was safe with the "st f rancis guide to outpatient medicine"...i wasn't....

1st aid for the wards was a good suggestion...hard to study for for step II when you haven't done any clinicals...
