How will things change as I transition from medical student to intern?

As an intern, you are the primary patient data collector. It's probably the most important part of the team. Welcome to the role.
Your first days as an intern may seem like just another medical school rotation; you're still writing notes, but what you write matters much more now. Your team will rely on you to know your patients and their numbers inside out, so if you say the creatinine is trending down, it better be.
