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 was an outstanding preceptor who ensured that I remained actively involved throughout the entire rotation. The doctor encouraged participation at every opportunity, answered all of my questions with patience, clarified my doubts, and shared a remarkable amount of clinical knowledge in a relatively short period of time. Dr. X frequently challenged me with questions during patient encounters, which kept me engaged, helped identify gaps in my knowledge, and motivated me to continuously improve my clinical reasoning.
In addition to Dr. X, I had the privilege of rotating with other doctors and physician assistants. Every member of the team was welcoming, approachable, and genuinely enthusiastic about teaching medical students. Dr. X shared valuable experiences from their clinical careers, discussing memorable patient cases, diagnostic approaches, and practical tips on effective case presentations. These discussions greatly strengthened my understanding of clinical reasoning and reinforced the importance of developing a broad differential diagnosis before arriving at a final diagnosis.
One of the greatest strengths of this rotation was the emphasis on active learning. I was consistently encouraged to obtain patient histories independently and perform physical examinations whenever appropriate. This significantly improved my confidence in history-taking, physical examination skills, patient presentations, and my ability to build rapport with both pediatric patients and their families. I also gained a deeper appreciation for how textbook presentations often differ from real-world clinical practice and how patient management frequently requires individualized decision-making based on each patient's unique
circumstances.
Overall, this rotation has been one of the most valuable clinical learning experiences of my medical training...I am sincerely grateful for the mentorship and support I received throughout this experience, and I would gladly choose to rotate here again if given the opportunity.
