Testimonials
If you show interest and confidence the doctor gives you a lot of autonomy. I was alone with the patients and their parents for a lot of the time, yet I always knew the doctor was right next door, which was great. Patients ages range from newborns to 26 year olds and it’s never the same. Although it’s primary care and sometimes they only come for a form fill out, they have rare diseases they live with and it’s always interesting to see how they are doing with their medication.
Since I’m also interested in the administrative part of healthcare, the doctor and I spent a lot of time talking about insurances, private practice, etc. I truly learned a lot. The doctor is faculty in a hospital and sent me the links to get into the resident lectures. So in the morning I would have online lecture with the residents and from 1 to 7 I would be at the clinic.
