It is the solely a preparation for the future.

In a society that only one medical student exist, he of course can rotate to any department he likes in a specified and limited period. But then as the number of medical students increase, usually we have no say about how we should be taught.

Take this hospital as example, In previous years, for getting some good cases, the senior students were hostile to the junior students. Well, because they took all the cases for nothing, because we the seniors are to be examined really, not the kids, because we want to learn more. These ideas were deeply planted in every senior students' brain.

As a result, the juniors had no chance to learn at all. I asked myself, what I have learnt from the junior clerkship in terms of medical knowledge? Perhaps nothing. The basics were not consolidated, which disabled further learning. How could a tree without roots to blossom?

You may wonder, without the teaching from professors, it would be hard for the seniors. It is partly correct because the professors are the people who own a lot of up-to-date knowledge in the field and they are always examination-oriented in their teaching. However, if they are not going to teach us on the most updated information and the most artistic physical examinations, they will lower the cut-off of the passing marks. To many of us, it will be good.

And for some students who know are active to learn, the change is the best for them. It is they who will finally contribute to the medical field, not the ducks who always relied on the spoon-feeding from others.
