Testimonials
Dr. X's feedback during the rotation served as a great opportunity to learn how to document patient encounters, with specific encouragement to read latest, evidence-based management guidelines which increasing my understanding of physiology/pharmacology. I was also involved in taking patient histories, performing ECGs and basic observations, which helped me improve my clinical practice and soft skills. The opportunity to observe exercise stress-tests and echocardiography, with Dr. X explaining the purpose/interpretation of findings was interesting. I also had the opportunity to perform several physical exams on patients and listen to some murmurs. I found Dr. X to be a great teacher and the opportunity to do this rotation was an invaluable experience which I believe will be of great value to my career as a doctor. I am thankful to Dr. X for his time and guidance and would highly recommend this rotation for other students.
