Rotation Ready
Hosted by Savanna Faulconer & Jake Sossamon · EN
Welcome to Rotation Ready! We interview academic physicians with one goal in mind: How can medical students not only be ready for their first day in your clinic or on your service, but how can we stand out and make a lasting impression? Hear expert tips for what to study the night before a new rotation, what you can do to actually help out your attending, and lots of examples of what has left these physicians impressed by students in the past.
Our goal is to interview one physician in every specialty you might encounter during your clinical years of medical school. We start with the core clinical rotations that most students spend time on during their M3 year, and we will come back to other specialties like derm, ortho, anesthesia, etc. afterwards.
If you are like us, and get stressed about having to start in a new clinic/ward every week, join us on this journey and make Rotation Ready part of your routine!
