Hey everyone,

Starting IM residency soon and just trying to get a better sense of how to stay organized and efficient early on. A few things I’m thinking about

How do you keep track of your patients (overnight events, labs, plans) without missing things?

How do you handle constant interruptions during the day without losing your place?

What makes an intern stand out (in a good way) on rounds?

Any small habits that made a big difference for you in the first month?

Appreciate any practical tips or systems that helped you early on, especially on efficiency and workload
