Testimonials
The experience of attending to patients was also great. We had the liberty of interviewing and examining every patient on our own time, which was great for practicing communication and language. We also had the liberty to write patients' charts, which was great for learning how to use the electronic medical record and improving our writing skills. And when he came, he would check the most important information with the patient and also in physical examination - which I think is a great practice and a reflection of his commitment to quality medicine. His working team is also great and I had the chance to spend some time with the coordinator of the practice office. This allowed me to understand more about how different healthcare
systems in the US and gave me a glance into the intricacies of running a clinic in the US. In conclusion, the rotation at Dr X's clinic was a throughout experience that allowed me to practice my clinical skills but also to learn about electronic records and coordination of health services in the US. I enjoyed it very much!
