Testimonials

This was truly an amazing rotation! Dr. X is incredibly supportive, and the entire experience gave me so much hands-on learning — from the basics of history taking and documentation to procedures like wound suturing and closed reductions. One of the highlights was having access to the EMR, which really helped me dive deeper into each patient’s condition and feel more involved in their care. It made a big difference in how
much I learned and how connected I felt to the team. Dr. X and the entire ER staff were not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and welcoming. They made me feel like a real part of the team from day one. As an IMG, I especially appreciated how open they were to sharing their experiences and teaching the standards of care in the U.S., while also respecting and showing genuine interest in the
medical practices from my home country. Overall, it was a supportive, inclusive, and enriching rotation that I’ll always be grateful for —and the lunch is pretty good too!
