What you will do: You will have an increasing role in patient encounters during this US clinical experience. You will be under the supervision of an experienced physician educator who is board certified in Internal Medicine. He has many years of experience educating international medical students and graduates. As an IMG himself, he was fortunate to rotate with dedicated mentors before residency. He credits these experiences with helping him to build important clinical skills and making him a more attractive applicant for residency. He is now committed to offering the next generation of IMG physicians the same opportunities in his own practice. He holds hospital appointments at the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center, Medstar Harbor Hospital, and Johns Hopkins Howard County General Hospital.
After a few days of observation, you will take on an increasing role in patient encounters and learn the following under the preceptor’s supervision:

Taking patient histories.

Performing exams under the physician's supervision.

Spending time with other healthcare professionals (nurse practitioners and social workers) in the office to understand their roles and responsibilities.
You may be able to attend educational conferences at the hospital.
Who should consider this rotation: International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking US clinical experience in internal medicine.
How to obtain a letter of recommendation: The rotator should ask the preceptor for a LOR near the conclusion of the rotation. Dr. Desai has provided the physician with guidelines about best practices in letter writing that meet residency program requirements. In some cases, the preceptor may ask the rotator to write a letter of recommendation draft.
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.
