Picked up this term from a senior and it's stuck with me. What stage were you when you finally became clinically sentient. i.e. able to take serious initiative, interact with senior doctors in a productive two-way conversation, work with some semblance of confidence. To put it more broadly just when you overall "get" how to be a resident doctor and how a hospital works.

I think it was mid-late FY2 for me which was coincidentally when I decided on career path and entered a rotation with more responsibility. I wonder if it was any different for gunners/postgrads/other undergrads. Curious to hear.
