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.

Taking patient histories under supervision.

Presenting patients.
Researching the literature to answer clinical questions at the point of care.
Educating patients under supervision.

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:

In some cases, the preceptor may ask the rotator to write a letter of recommendation draft.

Testimonials
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. X for the invaluable mentorship and support provided during my first Family Medicine clinical experience in Atlanta. From the moment I arrived in the United States and stepped into the clinic, Dr. X created an exceptional learning environment. The doctor is highly knowledgeable, resourceful, professional, and approachable. The kindness extends not only to patients but also to learners, colleagues, and every member of the clinic staff. Beyond being an outstanding physician, Dr. X is also a compassionate father figure who treated me with warmth, patience, and genuine care.
As an international physician entering a new healthcare system, I initially faced challenges related to cultural differences, language barriers, and unfamiliar clinical workflows. Dr. X helped me navigate these obstacles and guided me through the complexities of the U.S. healthcare system. The mentorship enabled me to adapt quickly to the American medical environment and, most importantly, helped me rebuild my confidence as a physician.
I am currently participating in my second Family Medicine program in Philadelphia. Thanks to the solid foundation established during my time with Dr. X, I entered this new program with confidence from day one. I was able to integrate smoothly into the clinical team and perform at a level that earned the trust and respect of senior physicians early in the rotation. Much of this success can be attributed to the preparation and guidance I received from Dr. X.
Overall, Dr. X is an exceptional mentor, educator, and physician. Dr. X's dedication to teaching, clinical excellence, and genuine concern for the success of trainees make the doctor a role model for medical education. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. X as a mentor and clinical teacher. I will always be grateful for the doctor's guidance, and I hope to maintain contact with the doctor for many years to come. Dr. X's influence has played a significant role in my professional growth and transition into the U.S. healthcare system. Highest recommendation.
