| 0:00.0 | What is going on everybody? Happy Monday, happy March 13th. Today is going to be a very quick |
| 0:06.0 | YouTube video. Today's going to be a very quick podcast and today I want to offer some advice and this advice isn't necessarily from myself but I thought |
| 0:16.4 | it was such great advice that I wanted to offer to everybody out here watching and |
| 0:20.1 | listening and this is a great |
| 0:25.0 | comes from a PA student and how she's changing the way she thinks to learn better medicine. |
| 0:27.0 | This is a great tip, this is a great advice, |
| 0:29.0 | I don't want to butcher her words, |
| 0:30.0 | so I'm just going to read it straight to you |
| 0:32.0 | and I think this applies during schooling, and especially |
| 0:36.8 | after schooling, it opens your mind, it makes you think about things a little bit differently. So let's get into Brecken's comment. It's not a question, but it's more |

| 1:26.9 | has. |
| 1:28.5 | This has helped me change my outlook on how I approach my clinical rotations now, |
| 1:32.6 | and rather than trying to impress the preceptor |
| 1:35.6 | or help the office move patients through faster, |
| 1:38.8 | I have begun to focus on my own personal growth. Now every day that I go to rotation I try to make every |
| 1:46.3 | single patient a learning experience for myself and extract as much information as I can |
| 1:51.9 | from my preceptor and listen to them every chance I have. |
