MS3 here. I am usually considered reserved by people around me and it seems to be affecting my evaluations in clinical rotations. They are generally positive but there is always this one preceptor who makes comment about my personality.
I recently received my evaluations from surgery rotation and they are generally positive with one person writing in a lot of detail about how good I am, how I ask good questions, and how I improved in suturing skills etc. but there is this one attending who said I am "very quiet".
I understand that being reserved and shy is not really likeable in clinical rotations and that I need to get out of my comfort zone to make sure I don't get negative comments but I am wondering how residency directors view comments like "very quiet" or "reserved"? Is this something that I should be very concerned about?
