Internal medicine
Specialty: Internal Medicine
​
MD2B Connect Physician ID # 46
​
Where will this rotation take place: This hands-on outpatient and inpatient rotation will take place in Brooklyn (New York City).
​​​
Hours: Monday - Friday 9 AM to 5 PM
What you will do: You will be under the supervision of a physician who is board certified in Internal Medicine. He is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine. He routinely has internal medicine residents and medical students from SUNY Downstate rotating through his practice.
​
He holds staff appointments at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center. As an IMG physician, he is well aware of the challenges that IMGs have in securing clinical experiences and landing residency positions in the U.S. He is therefore committed to providing IMGs with an exceptional clinical experience. He enjoys mentoring IMGs and doing all that he can to help them reach their professional goals.
You will see patients in his office. After a few days of observation, you will take on an increasing role in patient care (please note that this is not a shadowing observership; you will be actively involved in patient care):​
​
-
You will take patient histories.
-
You will perform physical exams under the physician's supervision.
-
You will present patients.
-
You will write or enter clinic progress notes.
-
You will research the literature to answer clinical questions at the point of care.
-
You will educate patients.
-
You will have opportunities to teach other team members.
-
You will spend time with other healthcare professionals in the office to understand their roles and responsibilities.​
​​
Although the bulk of your time will be in the outpatient setting, you will have opportunities to see inpatients at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and/or Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center once per week.
​​
You will receive regular feedback on your performance.
​​
Please note that during peak periods this preceptor has multiple students ​per month (as many as 25). What that means is that you will see fewer patients during those months (< 5 patients). Despite the presence of multiple learners in the office, this physician preceptor has developed a system which allows him to work with each student closely.
​​​
Who should consider this rotation: International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking hands-on patient care experience. IMGs seeking careers in family medicine or internal medicine will find this rotation useful.
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.
