Location: Huntsville

Price: 

Hospital Letterhead: Yes

Faculty Appointment: Yes - Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine

Information about this clinical experience:

This is an inpatient and outpatient experience during which you will be under the supervision of a physician who is board-certified in general surgery and vascular surgery. The physician is on staff at North Alabama Medical Center. This preceptor is an international medical graduate and very familiar with the challenges that IMGs face in reaching their professional goals. The preceptor enjoys mentoring others and has spoken and written about how IMGs can be successful. The attending is a member of the Adjunct Faculty at the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine.


One day of the week will be spent in the physician's office where you will encounter patients with a wide variety of vascular disease. You will be involved in the evaluation and management of these patients. Four days of the week will be spent in the hospital observing surgeries in the operating room or catheterization lab and rounding on hospitalized patients. The surgical case mix involves treatment of conditions using both minimally invasive endovascular and traditional open procedures.


During your experience, you will learn the following U.S. medical practices under the preceptor’s supervision:


  • Taking patient histories.

  • Performing physical exams under the physician's supervision.

  • Presenting patients.

  • Have opportunities to educate patients.

  • Observing a variety of surgeries (per hospital policy, rotators are not permitted to scrub in).

  • Have opportunities to research the literature to answer clinical questions at the point of care.

  • Delivering talks to the team.

  • Spending time with other healthcare professionals to understand their roles and responsibilities.

  • As a result of hospital policies, inpatient activities will be more observational. The hands-on component of this rotation will mostly take place in the outpatient setting.

Who should consider this rotation:

International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking US clinical experience in surgery.​​

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.
