Testimonials
This Nephrology rotation will be extremely beneficial for anyone desiring to pursue residency in IM, FM or nephrology. I had the opportunity to spend time in outpatient dialysis centers and learn the particularities of patients on dialysis, take part in the outpatient clinic as well as well as playing an active role in the inpatient setting. The preceptor places much importance on preparing you for the tasks of residency. The doctor spends time teaching you how to write a perfect SOAP note and how to present patients in an effective way. You will learn many concepts that will be extremely important in managing patients in any specialty, as this preceptor has a large breadth of knowledge and is a great teacher. An element that makes this rotation unique is the amount of independence that you will have in the inpatient setting of the long-term acute care. You will be expected to see all patients independently and compose a note including your plan for the patient. This allows you to form your own idea before discussing your plan with the preceptor. In addition, the preceptor as well as the office staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly and supportive. I highly recommend this rotation, it was a wonderful experience for me!
