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
About the preceptor:
Dr. X fosters medical rotator autonomy. The doctor stands out for an ability to balance high-level clinical supervision with the trust placed in rotators. From the beginning, Dr. X didn't just treat me as an observer, but like a future colleague, involving me in the "behind-the-scenes" of medicine, such as billing-related discussions and Hospice IDT meetings. One of the doctor's greatest strengths is the approach to complex
patient management. Dr. X modeled how to handle patients with multiple comorbidities, including transplant recipients and amputees, without losing the human element of primary care. Dr. X was incredibly encouraging, and seeing the doctor's confidence in my clinical skills grow over the four weeks was a huge boost to my professional morale.
About the rotation:
Comprehensive clinical scope, combining inpatient, outpatient, hospice, and televisits, specially focusing on the longitudinal management of complex cases...Additionally, I was able to consolidate my knowledge on managing acute complications, such as Pseudomonas and Klebsiella cellulitis, and following sepsis protocols for infected pressure ulcers. Additionally, this rotation allows for time with physical, occupational, and speech therapists. It helped me understand the team-based approach to patient rehabilitation. At the clinic, this experience allowed me hands-on exposure to procedures like Dexcom placements, IM injections, and nebulizer preparations. Also, participating in the IDT meetings showed me exactly how a PCP coordinates care with therapists and specialists to manage hospice patients. The rotation is fast-paced, which was actually a strength as it forced me to refine my workflow and EMR documentation efficiency.
