Guide to
NOT BEING LOST in M3
First of all, welcome to M3. The
transition from a lecture (plus-some-tutorials) system to ward-based learning
and assessment will need some getting used to. To be honest, I myself am not
totally adapted to clinical life, and am still learning from my postings. This
sharing of my personal experience is only meant to facilitate the
transition, so you won’t get (so) lost. How I wish somebody wrote this for me…
Remember: many heads are better
than one — here it’s just one. And I’m not totally one whom you’ll consider
smart or something, so it takes a bit of faith to trust what I say.
