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 rotation with Dr. X was unique and fantastic. The doctor taught me Medicine, and the most important, how to be a human taking care of other humans. Dr. X is an example of a very professional physician and sensitive person. The doctor drives the cases with a lot of expertise and knowledge. Furthermore, one of the doctor's most valuable characteristics is having a global view about the patient, taking care of the physical and psychological condition. For instance, the doctor has delicacy with each patient, bringing topics outside medicine, causing patients to feel that they are talking with another human, and not only a professional. I could say that it was amazing and I learned a lot, because most of the time the patients need more than medications and exams; they need to be heard about their feelings and concerns.
Besides the way Dr. X guides the multiprofessional health team is incredible. I worked for 10 years as a physician in Brazil and I have never seen that way. The doctor is kind and talks to each professional to know about the patients: nurse, clinical nutrition, and physical therapy. Everyone is equally important.
Finally, our routine started at 6 am every day. And no matter how early I woke up those days, I was extremely happy. We saw patients in different settings like the floor, intensive care unit and emergency. Moreover, we saw postoperatively, clinical and chronic patients. At 10 am each day we made the multidisciplinary round to discuss with the entire team the conducts and plans. After that me and Dr. X discussed the cases together with clinical aspects, medications, articles, and therapeutic plans.
To sum up, I am already missing my rotation with Dr. X. I definitely recommend this rotation for those who want to improve in Medicine, but especially how to be a better doctor and a better person.
