Testimonials

During my one-month general surgery rotation, I had the exceptional privilege to learn from and work alongside Dr. X, whose mentorship profoundly shaped my understanding of surgical practice and patient care...The hands-on experience I gained during this rotation was invaluable. Dr. X ensured that I was actively involved in patient care, including preoperative assessments, intraoperative assistance, and postoperative management. This comprehensive exposure solidified my theoretical knowledge while honing practical skills such as suturing, tissue handling, and intraoperative decision-making. Dr. X’s constant feedback was constructive and encouraging, helping me identify areas for improvement while reinforcing my strengths.
The supportive atmosphere Dr. X created allowed me to thrive as a learner. The doctor was approachable, attentive, and genuinely invested in my progress. The mentorship went beyond formal teaching sessions; the preceptor took time to discuss career goals, professional challenges, and work-life balance. These conversations provided invaluable guidance and reassurance as I navigate the demanding path of surgical training.
