What is important to me?

1. Reliability and honesty – I know when you don’t turn up to where you should be, so please let me know if you are going to miss a teaching/ clinic
2. Critical thinking – being really curious about every aspect of the patient examination and history- question everything analyse everything.
3. Challenging me – I expect you to question me. Your questions indicate your level of understanding
4. Good reflections – I hope you will all put down intelligent reflections-
   • What have I learnt?
   • what has surprised me.
   • What have I read?

A Few tips to impress

1. Digging into the history – patient tells you COPD- Are you convinced?
2. Reading around cased you see
3. At least 3 differentials
4. Sorting the red herrings from the red flags..

Your end of posting assessments

1. A demonstration of your knowledge – history and examination records
2. A demonstration of your curiosity – What questions have you asked
3. A demonstration of your skills – procedures done/observed

You will be assessed based on all the requirements by the university. I look for the above at the time of your assessments.
