I am 1 month into my residency program, just finishing my internship. This past month has been hard, my patient load has been anywhere from 15-30 patients, many people I've talked to say "you're just starting, you need time to get used to it".
I need somewhere to start. Are there any algorithms (like drugs, investigations) to rounding patients with commonly-seen problems?
Many things I have learnt isn't translating to the wards and I constantly have thought block. I don't have a framework for my daily patient notes. I end up copying everything (blood test results, XR, vitals) every day. Do many starting residents experience this?
