Information about this clinical experience:
This is an inpatient experience during which you will be under the supervision of a board-certified radiologist. The attending is an Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of Miami who is actively involved in the education of radiology residents.
In this clinical experience, rotators will be exposed to both diagnostic and interventional radiology. Your time will be split between the primary attending, the attending’s colleagues, and radiology residents.
Time spent in diagnostic radiology will allow the student to obtain an overview of the specialty, become familiar with different imaging modalities, and gain knowledge in film interpretation. The interventional radiology component of the experience will introduce the student to the types of procedures performed in the specialty. Learners will become familiar with the indications and contraindications of commonly performed procedures and the perioperative evaluation and management of patients undergoing these procedures. Rotators may be permitted to scrub into these cases, providing an excellent opportunity to observe these procedures close-up.
As this experience takes place in a hospital which houses a radiology residency program, rotators may accompany residents to didactics and conferences (please note that the hospital has an additional charge that the rotator must pay. This will be refunded to you by us.)
Some useful resources to make the most of your learning include the following:
Please note that because of hospital policies this will be an observership.
Who should consider this rotation:
International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking US clinical experience in Radiology.
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.
Testimonials
My four-week Internal Medicine rotation with Dr. X was truly an exceptional experience, and I could not have asked for a better preceptor. What I appreciated most about the preceptor was how genuinely thoughtful and considerate the doctor was toward rotators. Dr. X always made sure we had enough time to interact with patients, take histories, perform physical examinations, and gain meaningful hands-on clinical experience. The doctor encouraged us to ask questions, engage in discussions, and think critically about different patient presentations. Dr. X also took the time to explain interesting cases and share clinical reasoning, which helped me develop a deeper understanding of Internal Medicine.
Another highlight was the opportunity to prepare and deliver presentations on various medical topics. This motivated me to review current literature, read research papers, and stay updated on recent clinical evidence. The preceptor consistently provided constructive feedback and practical suggestions on how we could improve our clinical skills, knowledge, and presentations.
Beyond clinical education, Dr. X was also an excellent mentor who generously shared advice about medicine, career development, and life in general. Watching the doctor interact with patients was another invaluable learning experience. The doctor has built wonderful relationships with them, and patients were consistently welcoming and kind to us as rotators.
I also greatly appreciated the doctor's thoughtfulness outside the clinical setting. Dr. X picked us up on time every day and made sure we got home safely, which made the entire rotation incredibly convenient and stress-free. Most importantly, the preceptor created an environment where learning was enjoyable, engaging, and rewarding. I genuinely looked forward to each day and had an amazing time throughout the rotation.
These were truly four of the most enjoyable and fulfilling weeks of my clinical training. I am extremely grateful for the teaching, mentorship, generosity, and kindness. I wholeheartedly recommend this preceptor to anyone looking for an outstanding Internal Medicine clinical experience.
