Testimonials

Strengths...only one student per rotation period so getting more attention and opportunity to talk one on
one with the preceptor...getting chance to scrub in at surgery center and being the first assist on the days there were no PAs working with him...good place for starting USCE as I got to learn everything about the OR from using hand rubs, gowning, gloving, prepping the OR and the patient, draping, etc. There are slight differences in techniques compared to India so it was a good start to get acquainted to the US health system, specifically in the operating room...Seeing Dr. X work in a variety of different settings - private surgery center, clinic, different hospitals provided me with lots of valuable insights.
