Testimonials
This was my first rotation in the US and I was naturally nervous starting out but this preceptor made every possible effort to make me feel as welcome as possible. He is very kind and approachable because of which students feel comfortable asking questions, making suggestions and ultimately feel like a true member of his team. I was assigned patients to see and also had the liberty of asking for things that I wanted to learn/do. The preceptor also took the time to discuss topics relevant to patients such as insulin dosing, atrial fibrillation and management of hypertension. By the end of the rotation, I had gotten a lot of practice taking cases and learnt quite a bit about management of common diseases. The preceptor also has wonderful communication skills which in my opinion is the most important skill that can be learnt during this rotation. All in all, this preceptor is absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend him especially to those who are just starting out in the US.
