Testimonials
Dr. X was eager to teach and created a supportive learning environment throughout the rotation. The doctor encouraged me to take on an active role and gave me a lot of independence when engaging with patients. I had opportunities to take histories, present cases, and formulate management plans. Dr. X always provided guidance and constructive feedback when needed. At the beginning of the rotation, the doctor gave me ample time to learn how to use the EMR and navigate patient notes, which allowed me to become integrated with the clinic efficiently.
A strength of the clinic was the wide variety of patient presentations. While a majority of patients attended for chronic illness, there were also numerous acute presentations as well. The community that the clinic serves was also very friendly and gave me a lot of encouragement. All of the staff at the clinic were also very welcoming and were eager to help if I had any questions.
