It's definitely not easy being a student.  We've all been there! 

😷 As a third year medical student on clinical rotations 22 years ago, I remember being told to always ask if there's anything else I can help with before I leave for the day.  It certainly makes sense as the rotation progresses, but on the first a few days of a rotation when you're mostly observing, I always thought it was kind of funny.  Either way, it's certainly a nice gesture. 

👉 My fellow healthcare professionals, when you were a student, did you always ask if there was something you would help with before you left?  Let me know in the comments.
