Of Surgery and Medicine

Abstract from my 3 hour story with my juniors in Cafe Wahid

For Surgery
Staying at ward for long period of time and going for "walk-around" instead of ward round is foolish. So, minimise ward visit(maybe 2 case clerking in ward per week?). Visit clinics and read more instead.

For Internal Medicine
Stay at ward, clerk at least 1 full long case per weekday. Clerk different cases. If possible, have at least 2 Observed long case per week.

For both posting, everyone must not worry about not being able to clerk properly because everybody start from zero. WIth time and practice i am sure you will be competent.
Do not panic. Relax and study smart.
Wish you all the best~^^
