During this rotation split between the inpatient and outpatient settings, you will be under the supervision of a cardiologist who is a well-regarded educator.

On weekdays, rotators will split their time between the outpatient and inpatient setting. The inpatient component of the experience will take place in the morning before the first patient is seen in the clinic, at lunchtime, or whenever there is an available period of time during the day. Rotators should check with the preceptor to learn when these hospital visits will occur so that they can accompany the doctor for rounds.
The rest of the day will be spent in the clinic. In the outpatient practice, you will see patients with the fellow or attending. This will give you the opportunity to see how comprehensive evaluations are performed in new patients and follow-ups are conducted in established patients. As the clinic has the capability of performing a variety of cardiac tests, rotators can observe echocardiograms, stress tests, and other procedures.

Testimonials
If you show interest and confidence the doctor gives you a lot of autonomy. I was alone with the patients and their parents for a lot of the time, yet I always knew the doctor was right next door, which was great. Patients ages range from newborns to 26 year olds and it’s never the same. Although it’s primary care and sometimes they only come for a form fill out, they have rare diseases they live with and it’s always interesting to see how they are doing with their medication.
Since I’m also interested in the administrative part of healthcare, the doctor and I spent a lot of time talking about insurances, private practice, etc. I truly learned a lot. The doctor is faculty in a hospital and sent me the links to get into the resident lectures. So in the morning I would have online lecture with the residents and from 1 to 7 I would be at the clinic.
