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
Dr. X had been nothing short of incredible since day one. He had exhibited remarkable politeness, attentiveness, and concern for my learning experience. During the initial three days, I had the opportunity to observe him interacting with patients, perform physical examinations together, and engage in discussions regarding diagnoses and therapeutic approaches. From the fourth day onwards, he allowed me to independently assess patients, present cases to him, and share my ideas about the best course of action. Subsequently, we would converse with the patient collectively.
Under his guidance, I not only acquired medical knowledge but also learned how to become a more compassionate physician. In addition to spending hours delving into the pathophysiology of diseases, current treatments, and the most effective ways to deliver diagnoses, he imparted invaluable lessons on how doctors should interact with their patients. I witnessed firsthand that Dr. X cultivates a truly familial relationship with his patients and the entire community in the area. He goes beyond knowing each patient's ailment; he truly understands them as individuals. This month spent with him has been nothing short of extraordinary.
