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
My rotation with Dr. X was a very well-rounded experience because I had a perfect balance between OR, clinic, and inpatient time. The amount of responsibility and independence Dr. X gave me during my rotation was remarkable. The doctor always made sure I got the most out of every opportunity, whether it was interacting with patients, doing minor procedures like stapling, suture removal, wound care, or any surgery in the OR. At the same time, Dr. X was always there to guide me when I needed help. The doctor also connected me with colleagues, and they invited me into their ORs and let me observe and assist them with their cases.
Dr. X, in addition to being a great surgeon, was also a great mentor. The doctor taught me about the fast-paced nature of surgical life and encouraged me to work faster, and at the same time, efficient and careful. The doctor also taught me how to communicate and work with senior physicians and other staff. Dr. X gave
me a lot of valuable career advice, and as an aspiring surgeon, I found one piece of advice very important...I think Dr. X's mentorship was the most highlighting part of the rotation.
I’m very grateful for everything I learned from Dr. X and the entire team. Overall, I think this is a perfect rotation for anyone interested in surgery and I will definitely recommend this.
