Testimonials
Dr. X is an excellent teacher. The doctor created a very open and comfortable learning environment. Dr. X encouraged questions and often turned cases into discussions, which made the learning much more engaging. The teaching was very knowledge-focused, and I found the conversations around patient management especially helpful. I am genuinely honoured to have worked under a mentor like Dr. X. Despite a busy schedule, the doctor made a genuine effort to teach and include me. I learnt a lot about ventilator management and critical care during this rotation, more than I had in previous experiences. The setup was more observational initially, but over time I was able to review cases on Epic, write notes on the clinic EMR, and stay actively involved in discussions. My rotation had a good mix of clinic and hospital exposure. The clinic was more relaxed, while the hospital setting was fast-paced and gave good insight into real-time decision-making. The staff, especially Winnie, were very kind and supportive throughout.
