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 is an excellent preceptor and educator. One of the doctor's greatest strengths is the ability to simplify difficult clinical concepts and explain the reasoning behind diagnosis and management in a way that is easy to understand and remember. Dr. X's teaching is consistently evidence-based and up to date; the doctor frequently refers to current research and guidelines and then compares the evidence with what the doctor has observed and implemented in practice. This made the rotation especially valuable because I was able to understand not only what the current recommendations are, but also how they are applied to real patients.
I was also very impressed by the care and attention Dr. X gave to patients. Even when an issue extended beyond the immediate infectious disease problem for which we was consulted, the doctor remained attentive to the patient's overall clinical picture and concerns. The doctor communicated complex medical information in simple, reassuring language, and it was clear that patients trusted him, felt comfortable asking questions, and were genuinely happy to see the doctor.
The infectious disease service also provides exposure to a very broad range of patients and clinical conditions. Because consultations take place throughout the hospital, I had the opportunity to observe patients across different levels of care and clinical settings, including the medical floors and ICU. This made the experience valuable not only for learning infectious disease but also for strengthening my understanding of inpatient internal medicine and the management of medically complex patients.
Dr. X is very friendly, kind, and approachable. I never felt hesitant to ask questions, and the doctor created an environment where learning felt natural rather than intimidating. The doctor regularly encouraged clinical reasoning and discussion rather than simply providing an answer. Overall, this was an excellent rotation for gaining exposure to evidence-based infectious disease, inpatient medicine, and thoughtful patient-centered care.
