Out of the classroom and into the clinic.
Rotating is very different from sitting in the basement studying.
It is much more like starting a new job each month. You show up super early on your first day and hope to impress everyone around. Slowly you get used to your new preceptor, the flow of the office and patients and then your four weeks are up and its time to move on to another clinic.
Although it sounds overwhelming, it is wonderful. The chance to work with and learn from various doctors in the community is priceless. It is also wonderful that members of the public are willing and often times excited to see a student in the clinic and be subjected to multiple rounds of questioning.
I have been learning to speak clearly, to avoid slang/jargon and most importantly how to be infinitely gentle yet thorough in my physical exam. The sticky part is that each doctor expects a different physical exam and a different reported history, so medical student have to be ever-adaptable.
