Where will this rotation take place: This outpatient hands-on rotation will take place in Atlanta, Georgia.
Hours: Monday to Friday 10 AM to 6 PM
What you will do: Please note that this is not a shadowing observership. You will be actively involved with the preceptors. You will be under the supervision of two board-certified pathologists. One leads a group of nearly a dozen pathologists that provide services to hospitals and physicians. He is an Adjunct Professor of Pathology at the Emory University School of Medicine. You will spend approximately 15% of your time with this preceptor. The other preceptor with whom you will spend the bulk of your time (85%) is Professor Emeritus of Pathology at the Emory University School of Medicine.
Among the services they offer include:
-
Cytopathology
-
Histopathology
-
Immunochemistry
-
Molecular oncology
-
Toxicology
-
Pharmacognetics
-
Clinical Chemistry
-
Cytometry
-
Microbiology
Although you will travel to multiple locations through the course of this rotation, you will be able to accompany the preceptor in his vehicle. At each site, you will spend 4-5 hours per day with the pathologist reviewing slides under the microscope.
Several hours per day will be spent in independent study as well as preparing for the end-of-rotation presentation. Every rotator will be asked to present a 15-25 minute topic via PowerPoint. This will be an excellent opportunity to learn how to deliver a scientific presentation, much like you will when you are a pathology resident.
These preceptors have been involved in teaching and mentoring international medical graduates over a period of 15 years, and have had considerable success helping his learners match into pathology residency.
You will receive regular feedback on your performance.
Who should consider this rotation: International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking experience in pathology.
Will a letter of recommendation be offered: Yes, assuming that the IMG meets the expectations of the rotation. Dr. Desai will provide the physician with guidelines which will improve the quality of the letter.
During the rotation: Our team will be checking in periodically with you to ensure that you are having an optimal experience. We encourage you to contact us if you have any questions during the rotation.
"This was the best rotation I have attended, and I have been on three different rotations. The attending is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this rotation for anyone interested in pursuing a residency in pathology."
