Clinical Guide The Nerd's Guide to Pre-Rounding - "How to Look Smart While Feeling Stupid in the First Months of Third Year". By Rick Loftus, Resident, UCSF Department of General Internal Medicine, Primary Care Table of Contents Preface to Version 2.01 Whew! Welcome to the Nerd's Guide, version 2.01. I've added 15 additional pages, including sections on how to draw blood and a checklist for post-admit patient management; an appendix on patient disposition; and digital templates for patient data collection cards. No philosophy this time; everything below still applies. I will say, however, that events surrounding my recent graduation have only reinforced my belief in the advice described below. Good luck! See you on the wards, Rick Loftus, M.D.
