Testimonials

My key learning during the rotation with Dr. X was that the most important thing in becoming successful as a doctor is not necessarily choosing a “prestigious” or “high income” medical field but to be open and truly passionate about what you do, which will ultimately lead to good doctor patient relationships and patients that actually take your medical advice serious. Honestly nephrology was not my most liked rotation during medical school but the doctor made it look so easy and actually very interesting by challenging me regularly with good questions and subjects to look up which we encountered during clinic or in the hospitals...This rotation also gave me a lot of hands on experience outpatient but inpatient as well! Seeing patients everyday in the hospital by myself, checking notes from other consultants and writing the progress notes has given me more confidence in managing tasks that I will be doing during residency and of course later as an attending. Dr. X gives students a lot of autonomy and trust and is also very approachable as a person which makes the working climate very pleasant.
