Clarity in notes 101:: “History of" = No longer present (in coding language). Ex: “history of diabetes.” Is their diabetes really no longer present? “With” = Still active. “Patient with diabetes” is better.

Handoffs: these can be extremely intimidating. As your co-resident is telling you about the patient, ask questions. Ask a LOT of questions. Close the loop at the end by summarizing the workup, pending labs/imaging, the plan, and any potential problems. Don't assume anything.

Round frequently on your patients. Not only does this help you keep a close eye on things, it builds rapport. When patients see their doctor frequently, it shows you're invested and facilitates trust, and trust is imperative. Be the doctor you'd want your family to have.

Don't shy away from critical patients. I promise you, as intimidating as it may be (and still is), having sick patients is how you learn to make quick decisions, which is a massive part of Emergency Medicine. As long as you have good support in case you need backup, go for it.

Thank your consultants. As basic as it seems, saying thank you goes a long way, and it doesn't happen near enough. Not only is it basic kindness to do so, it builds good relationships with your colleagues across different specialties and will help you when you're in a bind.

Be willing to learn from EVERYONE. The respiratory therapist, the nurse, the attending, the co-resident, the EMTs, etc. Everyone has experiences and knowledge that you don't. Capitalize on that. Don't play the hierarchy game.

Create useful, workable templates in your EMR and keep up with notes as much as possible on shift. When a significant lab results, comment on it. When you make a treatment decision, put it in the MDM. Do the little things to help you leave work on time.

If a nurse comes to you concerned about a patient, be concerned about that patient and go see them right then. Nurses spend more time at the bedside than we do, and they know when a patient has a clinical change. Listen to them.

Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest athletes of all time. In 2016, we got to see why. Bryant gave a speech at an awards show. He used the moment to address all athletes. “We’re not on this stage just because of talent or ability,” Bryant said. “We’re up here because of 4 am.

Grit This one’s a non-negotiable. What is it? • Ability to persist through obstacles • Strength to bounce back from failure • Tenacity to keep pushing, no matter the challenge Hard work is common. Grit is rare.
