As an intern, you are obviously going to make mistakes and then try to learn from them. Trying to be proactive - what are things that you do that can either make the job of the program director, attending physician or your supervising resident easier (so to try doing more or learning about) or harder (so to try to avoid)?
I'm mostly interested in things that they expect you to do and, if you don't do them, they have to enhance, redo or worst case do some corrective actions. Also mostly interested about things that they care about themselves. E.g. if you "hurt" yourself by not asking questions that you need answers to, you will lose as you won't learn (might come handy when you actually start working alone), but then again your supervisors might not care about that (to take a cynical stance here - I assume most of them are not like that, but let's play Devil's advocate for this discussion).
For example, say you did half of the necessary physical. Is that good? No. Is that somewhat acceptable coming from an intern? Maybe. Would the resident in your team be pissed off or just tell you "go do this", "do this the next time" or something along those lines?
If you are OK giving some real examples that you went through personally, I'd appreciate that greatly! I really don't have a good idea about what might be good or bad and most importantly why (and how much) would your supervisors care, examples should help that a great deal.
