Testimonials
This rotation was very enriching. The preceptor was very welcoming and truly invested in teaching. Even though the doctor is busy, Dr. X took the time to sit with the interns at the end of each day. This allowed the doctor to get to know us better, understand our experience in the lab, and teach us about medicine, pathology, lab management, residency applications, and other topics. The doctor was open to any questions and willing to help with personal decisions, such as those related to residency. The rotation was very organized and offered plenty of hands-on experience.
