Book excerpt: The transition from medical student to physician is one of the most important events in the life of a young doctor. From the moment medical school graduates step foot on the internal medicine ward as "real doctors," they will be leaving behind civilian life forever. Hereafter, patients, family and friends will look to the new doctor for help and healing, counting on years of study and training to have provided the tools to diagnose and treat disease. Residency is a challenging time because doctors are charged with learning as much as they can, but are also hospital employees with a job to perform. The hope of this guide is that an intern will be able to navigate the rocky waters of internship whether remaining in internal medicine residency or matriculating to another field such as dermatology, neurology, anesthesiology, or radiology. This guide is not a practical how-to, as a residency program should provide such support. It is, however, designed to help interns maneuver the pitfalls of the workplace, navigate interpersonal interactions and utilize the best tools and practices during the course of their internship.
