Produktbeschreibung

The Nerd's Guide to Pre-Rounding is a comprehensive how-to guide for 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 difficult 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.
