Testimonials
Dr. X is extremely friendly and easy to approach. He has a great team at the clinic, all of whom made me feel welcome and a part of the team. He gradually increased my responsibilities over the 1st week, which allowed me to get used to the whole process of seeing patients and making notes and did not overwhelm me. I also learned a lot particularly because of the autonomy that Dr. X offered me. By the end of the 1st week, I saw patients on my own, made preliminary diagnoses, and discussed management with him. There's plenty of
inpatient exposure in the form of hospital rounds and cath-lab procedures. I also presented a couple of topics to Dr. X and the whole team at the clinic which helped me improve my public speaking skills
and gain confidence in presenting. Dr. X also gave me detailed feedback and critiques on my performance and gave me quite a few tips on strengthening my ERAS application for the future MATCH process.
