If you're not a medical student, you might get an idea of what life can be like with this page from the ABC way back in 1999, when PBL was new and exciting. The Slab: So you want to be a doctor..., where one medical student tells the story of the clinical years.
The original page has vanished, but I managed to find a copy in the Internet Archive and mirror it locally: Churl's What every clinical clerk should know, a useful guide for medical students.
