Information about this clinical experience:
You will work with a pediatrician who is well regarded for delivering high quality care to children. The preceptor is currently a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine and a Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Michigan State University. The doctor holds staff appointments at William Beaumont Hospital, Henry Ford Hospital, and Huron Valley Hospital.
The physician has been involved in teaching pediatric and family medicine residents for nearly 30 years, having taught pediatric trainees from William Beaumont Hospital and Children's Hospital of Michigan as well as family medicine trainees from William Beaumont Hospital, Wayne State University, DMC-Huron Valley Hospital, and Botsford Hospital. The preceptor regularly gives lectures to pediatric residents.
To allow students to understand the perspectives of other specialists in the field, the doctor also likes to have students spend clinical time with other pediatric colleagues in the office.

International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking US clinical experience in pediatrics. IMGs seeking careers in family medicine will also find this rotation particularly useful.
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.

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
I had an excellent experience during this rotation. The attending physician was truly outstanding, and I learned a great deal from the doctor's clinical reasoning. In particular, I learned how to approach antibiotic escalation and de-escalation, as well as how to evaluate and manage a wide range of infectious diseases, including HIV.
The attending was very supportive and took great care of me throughout the rotation. The doctor also gave me valuable advice about residency and the Match process. Thanks to the doctor, I had the opportunity to meet the program director, and although a planned presentation session was eventually canceled, the doctor tried to give me a chance to present during didactic time (I was still able to give a presentation in front of the doctor and the resident).
I also appreciated learning not only clinical knowledge, but also how to work efficiently and communicate effectively with other healthcare professionals. Overall, this was a very meaningful and helpful rotation experience, and I am grateful for the support I received.
