Testimonials
About the preceptor:
Dr. X fosters medical rotator autonomy. The doctor stands out for an ability to balance high-level clinical supervision with the trust placed in rotators. From the beginning, Dr. X didn't just treat me as an observer, but like a future colleague, involving me in the "behind-the-scenes" of medicine, such as billing-related discussions and Hospice IDT meetings. One of the doctor's greatest strengths is the approach to complex
patient management. Dr. X modeled how to handle patients with multiple comorbidities, including transplant recipients and amputees, without losing the human element of primary care. Dr. X was incredibly encouraging, and seeing the doctor's confidence in my clinical skills grow over the four weeks was a huge boost to my professional morale.
About the rotation:
Comprehensive clinical scope, combining inpatient, outpatient, hospice, and televisits, specially focusing on the longitudinal management of complex cases...Additionally, I was able to consolidate my knowledge on managing acute complications, such as Pseudomonas and Klebsiella cellulitis, and following sepsis protocols for infected pressure ulcers. Additionally, this rotation allows for time with physical, occupational, and speech therapists. It helped me understand the team-based approach to patient rehabilitation. At the clinic, this experience allowed me hands-on exposure to procedures like Dexcom placements, IM injections, and nebulizer preparations. Also, participating in the IDT meetings showed me exactly how a PCP coordinates care with therapists and specialists to manage hospice patients. The rotation is fast-paced, which was actually a strength as it forced me to refine my workflow and EMR documentation efficiency.
