In this episode, we dive into the two rotations that often define the core clinical year: internal medicine and surgery. Whether you’re aiming to honor or just hoping to survive, we’re sharing what helped us the most—from pre-rounding tips and SOAP note strategy to staying sharp in the OR (without passing out). We’ll break down what attendings and residents actually notice, how to show initiative without overstepping, and why your mindset matters just as much as your med knowledge. Tune in for honest advice, personal stories, and the lessons we wish we knew before starting day one.

Join Noah and Eleni as they explore their Family Medicine rotations. Learn tips and tricks to ace your evals, shine on your shelf, and tackle any patient you'll find on this diverse, multifaceted rotation!
