Let this be a public testament;
When I have the opportunity to train medical students as an intern, resident, or attending, I will always be mindful of their schedules.
I will release them as early as possible when there are no foreseeable education opportunities.
I will do my best to ask them about their school's curriculum and probe their existing fund of medical knowledge to teach them better.
I will not keep them around to chit chat when they could be reading or sleeping.
I will learn their names and use them.
I will try to refrain from using the "Look it up" line because an explanation or demonstration always worked better for me than a text chapter.
I will be patient.
I will offer advice if asked for it.
I will not ridicule.
I will not yell.
I will not speak behind someone's back unless I'm also willing to speak to their face.
I will be the student's advocate.
When I am frustrated with a student, I will remind myself of what it was like to be a student.
