Testimonials
Dr. X was my first rotation, and looking back, I think this doctor should be the first preceptor for everyone who goes through the American healthcare system. The doctor is super calm, empathetic, and takes the time to explain and allows me the time to understand everything about the patient's record on my own before I have to worry about following her through the hospital corridors. The doctor introduced me to different medical scenarios where she works, such as a small long-term stay hospital, a psychiatric hospital, and both low- and high-income nursing home facilities. It was very important for my growth to see her treating patients and their families with the utmost respect. I learned a lot from this rotation and recommend everyone start with Dr. X. She was incredible.
