How to make your BSL well 1

When medical students become 4th or 5th year, they attend to bed-side learning (BSL).

This learning style was started by William Osler. We called him "a father who lead medical students to wards." Sometimes it is little difficult for medical students to learn clinical medicine only from textbooks. Bed-side learning is useful to learn more practical.

However, physicians are always busy, and all of them are not cooperative to educate medical students. Therefore, med students need to learn the ropes to adjust BSL.

The following tips are only from my experiences.

1. Try to act as semi-professional
When we get medical license, we have to behave as a professional doctor. We should practice to do so from med-student especially when students are on wards.

2. Find what students can do
All medical staffs are busy, so students should find what everyone can do, and do it. It will not only help for staffs, but also be useful for students to think subjectively.
Some doctors told me that when we become junior residents, the job looks like "assistant director."

3. Keep your own learning style

4. Try to manage your time efficiently

Maybe when I feel like writing this more, I'll continue to discuss about this.
