How to Be a Problem Solver on the Wards

take special note of the things the residents and attendings complain about.  What annoys them?  What frustrates them?  Come to think of it, when you are on their service, what annoys/frustrates you?  Make it your goal during 4th year to fix one of these problems.  They will be impressed.

He did a literature search on diabetic ketoacidosis and created a clinical pathway complete with a standard order sheet (so you really can’t screw up the pathway) that the ED and ICU both agreed to.
