Testimonials
I had an excellent experience during this rotation. The attending physician was truly outstanding, and I learned a great deal from the doctor's clinical reasoning. In particular, I learned how to approach antibiotic escalation and de-escalation, as well as how to evaluate and manage a wide range of infectious diseases, including HIV.
The attending was very supportive and took great care of me throughout the rotation. The doctor also gave me valuable advice about residency and the Match process. Thanks to the doctor, I had the opportunity to meet the program director, and although a planned presentation session was eventually canceled, the doctor tried to give me a chance to present during didactic time (I was still able to give a presentation in front of the doctor and the resident).
I also appreciated learning not only clinical knowledge, but also how to work efficiently and communicate effectively with other healthcare professionals. Overall, this was a very meaningful and helpful rotation experience, and I am grateful for the support I received.
