Testimonials
Dr. X is extremely knowledgeable and obviously an expert in dermatopathology with decades of experience. Sign-out every morning was an invaluable learning experience. Dr. X provided extensive and detailed explanations of what we saw on each slide. The doctor's instruction allowed me to gain basic familiarity with and competence in recognizing the most common conditions in dermatopathology during the 4 weeks of my rotation, which I'm immensely grateful for. A large part of the rotation consisted of self-study, with an abundance of study slides and textbooks available, plus your own microscope and desktop computer. Dr. X always welcomed any questions I had. The doctor also sees patients, which students can observe if desired (note: a good portion of patient encounters takes place in Spanish). Additionally, research opportunities (e.g. case reports) are possible upon discussion.
