Testimonials
Dr. X was truly an inspiring physician. As an IMG, one of the most challenging aspects for me is developing a good bedside manner, especially with difficult patients. Dr. X set a great example and taught me the importance of how we treat patients—not just medically, but as people. I believe that in most FM rotations, the medical knowledge and cases we see can be quite similar. However, learning how to approach and connect with patients is something that’s hard to teach, and I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to learn this from Dr. X. Also, I initially thought FM mostly dealt with common conditions, but thanks to this rotation, I was able to gain hands-on experience in wound care—something I had never learned in school.
Dr. X was always open to my questions and generously offered many opportunities for hands-on practice. I’m truly grateful for the support and guidance throughout this rotation.
