If you could sit down with me and ask me any question about being successful in your internship or residency, what would it be? I’ll answer some questions on upcoming RookieDoc FAQs – these are occasional phone conferences for RookieDoc fans and members where I discuss a hot topic or answer questions.

Ask Me About Internship or Residency

I may not get to every question directly, but may be able to post important answers here, in special RookieDoc reports (PDF), on the RookieDoc Squidoo lens, or in the Audio Tips series.

By the way, the RookieDoc membership is undergoing some upgrades and will open to new members soon. Stay tuned. In the meantime, though, get your question in. Go ahead, click the link above.

You don’t want to just survive your internship and residency, do you?

Of course not. You want to excel.

But most of the books…

most of the websites…

and nearly everyone you talk to out there…

They all seem to warn you about what a disaster your internship and residency can be. They speak of grueling nights on-call; rarely, if ever, seeing your family and friends; and getting utterly embarrassed by attendings in front of everyone. They worry you with talk of malpractice, needle sticks, medical errors, and boards preparation.

Well, it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, it isn’t this way. I should know… I’ve been there…

And I’ve posted some videos to help you to have success in your internship and residency. Just go to this tips and pearls for residency video to start.
