Tips for Transition ·
Have credentialing paperwork accessible and ready to fax or copy for
clerkship sites. Specific items you might be asked to include: o Criminal background check o HIPAA o Immunizations—you will have to

Submit any site requirements as soon as requested before or at the
start of clerkship. ·
Notify clerkship sites immediately if you think your housing needs

room for you. ·
Any possible requests for being away from the
clerkship has to be discussed well in advance. Read the absence
guidelines before contacting anyone. ·

Last day of clerkship ends at 5pm. ·
Write down things you have questions about so you always have
something to discuss with the resident or attending. ·
During the last week of a rotation, do research and find a recent
article about something the team has a question about and then give a
“mini-presentation” on it to the team. ·
Always read just a little bit before the lecture so you have a tiny
bit of info to work with for the ‘Socratic method’ of teaching. ·
Classic stuff—be on time, be enthusiastic,
care about your patients, always ask if there is anything else you can do to
help, smile. Cannot stress the importance of this enough! Academic
