I received negative feedback from my most recent rotation, and I'm trying not to freak out. What should I do?

It's no secret that medical students are used
to doing things right, so there are few things as difficult as being
told that you've done something wrong. Even worse is getting serious
negative feedback in writing. Here are some tips for learning from a
negative evaluation without letting it rewrite how you see yourself.
