From Theory to Reality
The first clinical posting is often a mix of excitement and nervousness. After months of studying textbooks, students finally step into wards where real patients replace case scenarios.
Learning to Observe and Listen
Clinical postings teach students how to take history, perform examinations, and communicate respectfully. Observing seniors interact with patients provides valuable practical insight.
Facing Initial Hesitation
Many students feel unsure while approaching patients for the first time. Overcoming that hesitation builds confidence and professional identity.
Understanding Responsibility
Even as learners, students realize that their words and actions matter. Respecting patient dignity and confidentiality becomes a lived lesson, not just theory.
A Memorable Milestone
The first posting often marks the moment when students truly begin to feel like future doctors.
