Testimonials

The strengths of this rotation are that it offered a variety of learning modalities, including outpatient clinic, inpatient hospital wound care rounds, telemedicine, hospice meetings, community-based awareness activities, and lectures. Wound care was especially fascinating and new to me, as it is often overlooked in traditional medical school curriculums. The rotation was hands-on & I truly felt like a member of the team.
I was independently able to take histories, perform physical examinations, engage in patient care, develop management plans, discuss and present cases with the preceptor, and actively participate in hospital rounds.

The preceptor is a brilliant role model demonstrating excellent clinical acumen and skill. The doctor is proficient at teaching and always willing to answer questions. I am honored that I got the opportunity to have worked with a phenomenal physician. The doctor was encouraging and created a welcoming atmosphere throughout the rotation...provided constructive feedback to help analyze areas where I could improve...Going on this rotation helped deepen my passion for family medicine, and also allowed me to
grow both personally and professionally.
