When I was an intern, pre-rounding was one of the most stressful parts of the day. Over time I have become more efficient.

Here are some tips I have learned along the way!

If helpful, check out my other threads or join my newsletter (starting on Friday - 7/19/24) for more in-depth thoughts and free medical notes (link in bio).

Part 3c: Pre-Rounding Tips: How to think about Labs (CMP).

Here are my thoughts on labs and questions I ask myself.

Pro-Tip: If you can print out a pre-rounding sheet with the labs auto-populated, that is always helpful.
