I am at the end of my training but I feel so unprepared so I was wondering if someone could give me advice. I'm having trouble with the speed. My trainers keep telling me to finish most of the chart before leaving the pt's room but I don't even get past the HPI. For the HPI, I tend to miss descriptive details and make it a "Story". I have such a hard time understanding the medical terminology, specifically for the physical exam, so I have to either keep asking the physician or google it. I barely get the first chart done and the physician has already seen 4 other pts. Lastly and probably the biggest challenge is that I am a very shy and conscious person. I have come a LONG way in terms of being more talkative and holding engaging conversations but I have a really difficult time talking to the physicians. I hate asking them to repeat themselves or confirm something, it makes me feel incompetent.
So, basically I need to improve on everything.
I really want to be good at this job. It's very important to me so I'd appreciate any advice you guys offer!
