This document provides advice for residents beginning their training, emphasizing the importance of admitting when you don't know something and asking for help from senior residents or attendings. It also stresses respecting colleagues and patients, prioritizing tasks with potentially life-threatening issues needing immediate attention, and taking responsibility for fully understanding a patient's condition and test results rather than relying only on reports from others. Residents are advised to be diligent learners, reading extensively on their own and not embarrassing peers during rounds or conferences.
