Information about this clinical experience:

This is an outpatient US clinical experience during which you will be under the supervision of a physician who is board certified in Family Medicine. As a family medicine physician, this preceptor believes in providing comprehensive care to patients in the practice. Patients of all ages are seen for a range of reasons, including acute care visits, chronic disease monitoring, and screening and prevention.

To bring whole person care to the patients in the practice, the physician also has on-site providers in other specialties, including a pediatrician, gynecologist, and plastic surgeon. By concentrating these services in one location, it makes access to care considerably easier for patients. And for rotators, this is an excellent opportunity to see how a family medicine physician can collaborate with colleagues in different specialties to bring personalized care to patients. Please note that you can spend time with these other providers to enrich your experience.

The doctor does not believe in making surface level treatment recommendations. A priority is placed on understanding the basis for a patient’s symptom, condition, or disease. By understanding the factors that are causing the problem, an approach can be developed to tackle the issue at its roots. Achieving best outcomes in health also requires the development of strong physician-patient relationships. This physician is a strong believer in establishing these types of relationships. Rotators will see how a seasoned physician forges these relationships and how the strength of those relationships can improve adherence and patient satisfaction.

During your experience, you will learn the following U.S. medical practices under the preceptor’s supervision:

Taking patient histories under supervision.
Examining patients under supervision.
Presenting patients.
Writing or entering clinic or progress notes.
Having opportunities to research the literature to answer clinical questions at the point of care.
Educating the patient.
Spending time with other healthcare professionals to understand their roles and responsibilities.

Who should consider this rotation:

International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking US clinical experience in Family Medicine.

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

I truly enjoyed my rotation with this preceptor and found it to be an incredibly enriching experience. Dr. X's exceptional bedside manner deeply inspired me and served as a model for the kind of compassionate and patient-centered care I aspire to provide in my future. The doctor has a unique ability to build strong connections with patients while addressing their concerns with empathy and professionalism. Additionally, I appreciated the doctor's openness to incorporating homeopathy into practice. This approach broadened my perspective on integrative medicine and allowed me to learn about alternative treatment modalities that I had not previously encountered in depth. Dr. X's knowledge and thoughtful application of homeopathy not only enhanced my clinical understanding but also emphasized the importance of individualized care. This preceptor’s mentorship has had a profound impact on my growth as a physician, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn under the doctor's guidance.
