Information about this clinical experience:
You will be under the supervision of a board-certified family medicine physician. The preceptor holds hospital privileges at Advent Health. The physician has been involved in the education of family medicine residents from Florida Health, and these trainees sometimes rotate in the doctor's outpatient practice. The preceptor has several decades of experience as a clinician and educator. The physician has taught international medical graduates from all over the world, and this gives the doctor's professional life considerable meaning.
You will see patients with the preceptor in the hospital and outpatient practice from 9 AM to 5 PM. The day begins at the outpatient practice where you will see patients with the preceptor in the office until Noon. From 12:30 to 1:30 PM, you will visit the hospital with the preceptor to take part in hospital rounds. The remaining part of the day will be spent in the office seeing outpatients. Please note that the typical census in the hospital is 3-4 patients.
During your experience, you will learn the following U.S. medical practices under the preceptor’s supervision:
Taking patient histories under supervision.
Performing exams under the physician's supervision.
Presenting patients.
Researching the literature to answer clinical questions at the point of care.
Educating patients under supervision.
Spending time with other healthcare professionals to understand their roles and responsibilities.
The activities above will mostly take place in the outpatient setting. As a result of hospital policies, inpatient activities will be more observational.
Please note that 40-50% of the patients are Spanish-speaking.
Who should consider this rotation:
International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking US clinical experience in family medicine in both the inpatient and outpatient setting.
How to obtain a letter of recommendation:
The rotator should ask the preceptor for a LOR near the conclusion of the rotation. Dr. Desai has provided the physician with guidelines about best practices in letter writing that meet residency program requirements. In some cases, the preceptor may ask the rotator to write a letter of recommendation draft.
During the rotation:
Our team will be checking in periodically with you to ensure that you are having an optimal experience. We encourage you to contact us if you have any questions during the rotation.
Testimonials
My family medicine rotation with Dr. X at Island Primary Medical Care was a valuable and rewarding learning experience. Dr. X is a thorough, compassionate, and dedicated physician who models patient-centered care. The doctor creates a welcoming learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, discussing clinical reasoning, and learning from experiences. Dr. X provides guidance with patience and respect, helping learners build confidence while maintaining high standards of patient care.
The rotation offered meaningful participation in outpatient family medicine, including history taking, physical examinations, discussion of differential diagnoses and treatment plans, preventive screening, and patient counseling. Exposure to chronic disease management, cognitive and mental health screening, and advance care planning helped me appreciate the breadth of family medicine.
Working alongside the office team strengthened my understanding of clinical workflows, teamwork, and care coordination. Above all, observing Dr. X's thoughtful attention to patients reinforced the importance of compassion, clear communication, and continuity of care. I am grateful for Dr. X's mentorship and would highly recommend this rotation to learners interested in family medicine.
