As new medical residents, it's essential to build a strong foundation in both clinical reasoning and patient centered care. Prioritize thorough history-taking and physical exams, use evidence-based guidelines, and avoid unnecessary testing or treatment. Focus on communication, prevention, and safe prescribing practices, especially in complex or elderly patients. Embrace continuous learning, collaborate with your team, and remain aware of your limitations. These principles not only improve patient outcomes but also support your development into a thoughtful and effective physician.
