Information about this clinical experience:
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. As a core faculty member of a cardiology fellowship program based in Orlando, this attending is actively involved in the education of fellows.
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
Dr. X was an excellent preceptor who made the most of every teaching opportunity. The doctor took time to explain reasoning during cases, from hernia repairs to laparoscopic procedures, and was always happy to discuss the evidence behind the decisions. That kind of real-time teaching is genuinely hard to find and made a big difference to my learning.
What stood out beyond the clinical teaching was Dr. X's kindness, to me, to the staff, and to the patients. As a student, I never felt like an inconvenience. Dr. X was genuinely invested in my experience and made me feel like a valued part of the team. Watching how the doctor interacted with patients was equally impressive. The doctor took time to put them at ease, explained things clearly, and treated everyone with real warmth and respect. That same attitude extended to everyone in theatre and on the ward, which made for a remarkably positive environment to learn in.
The rotation itself was well organised with good case variety, and I felt welcomed from day one. Overall this was one of the most valuable clinical experiences I've had during medical school, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone serious about pursuing surgery.
