Testimonials
With regards to skills, the preceptor had many. Firstly, Dr. X's bedside manner was exceptional, and the doctor had a welcoming personality which made communication more relaxed and open...The doctor explained difficult topics in a simplified manner, which made learning easier for both patients and observers...Dr. X and the other members of staff at both the office and hospital also showed me how information is entered into the EMR system, which was more complex than the paper-based system I am accustomed to.
At the hospital, I observed the doctor perform cesarean sections, but the most impressive procedure was a total laparoscopic hysterectomy using the da Vinci Xi robot. The level of precision and control demonstrated was remarkable and reflected Dr. X's years of experience...In the operating theatre, I interacted with several members of staff, including scrub nurses, anesthesiologists, and a pediatrician, who took the time to explain concepts such as neonatal resuscitation and postoperative pain management. I also met ward nurses, medical students, residents, and fellows, which provided opportunities for learning and networking.
The rotation was well-rounded, with exposure to both outpatient and inpatient care. Dr. X was always willing to teach, and the more questions you asked, the more the doctor engaged and explained. On quieter days, Dr. X would also take time to go through topics of interest. Overall, Dr. X was very supportive and encouraged improvement throughout the rotation.
