Question 1

Answer

"The doctor is a great person and an excellent physician. He is kind and approachable and is willing to share his medical knowledge with you and to take the necessary time to help you refine your clinic skills so you can be successful. You will be working in a fast pace clinic that sees 30-40 patients daily and will therefore have ample opportunities to interact with patients, take medical histories, perform physical exams, and present cases. At the end of this rotation you will feel confident and prepared for the next step of your career." - Juan "Excellent patient population and patient volume with diverse and interesting case presentations. The learning opportunities were endless in this rotation. The attending is a sound physician with excellent clinical acumen and patient care knowledge. He demonstrates his effective way of communication and interpersonal skills to his students while in an interview with his patients or their families. He is a sharp physician with an outstanding sense of humor and hence we always had a laugh or two. He always welcomes his students to ask him academic or patient care related questions and was more than willing to share his wealth of knowledge with us but like a good mentor, he also expected us to do our homework first." - Himagna "Student and patient friendly, vast range of clinical cases, students can directly communicate to patients and parents, the doctor is extremely knowledgeable in clinical areas and incorporates teaching into daily patient care. The doctor has high emotional intelligence and focuses on patient welfare. He cares about the students rotating through his office." - Madhu

Question 2

Answer

"The doctor is efficient, organized and smart. She gave students enough time for patient encounters, provided timely feedback to me to improve my performance and finished the patient encounter in time. The doctor is gifted in her ability to connect with patients and families from different cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic levels." - Yabin "The doctor is really a good pediatrician that I want to be, not only a doctor to sick babies, but a good teacher to me, a nice friend to me and other medical students. Our topics are from medical things to Chinese restaurants, I would like to say, if possible, I’d like to learn with the doctor for more than 1 month. Besides, nurses in the clinic are really nice as well, we made coffee or brought snacks for everyone, we had a great time. Thank you to the doctor and all friends in the clinic!" - Guyu "The doctor is compassionate, approachable, fosters a wonderful educational environment and makes students feel at home. She is quick in the clinic and directs the students efficiently and taught about the common clinical cases during the rotation. She allows students to document in the EMR which she goes over and makes changes and reaches out to students to make them aware of the changes so we can learn. She gave timely feedback and was overall friendly and open to questions. I requested her to present on a topic of interest and she was very welcoming and provided adequate time to prepare and present on it. The clinic staff are all very friendly and organized and this helped me learn a great deal about running an outpatient set up and learn the basics of outpatient pediatric patient care." - Madhu "Fast paced busy clinic. Good practice with EMR system and documenting patient data. Opportunity to see a wide range of pediatric cases and all age groups for WCC. Students get a chance to formulate their own assessment and provide with a plan with treatment dosing and calculations. However you are mentored and guided at every step of the learning process so as to make you very comfortable by the end of your rotation. This is an excellent pediatric rotation to understand US healthcare system and the various insurance coverages." - Himagana
