Information about this clinical experience:
You will be under the supervision of a board-certified internal medicine physician. The doctor holds hospital privileges at Citrus Memorial Hospital and Bayfront Seven Rivers Health. Of note, several years ago, Citrus Memorial Hospital started a new internal medicine residency program. Many of their residents are international medical graduates. Please note that this preceptor is not part of the residency program but rotating in the area may allow for networking with the program.
This physician is a preceptor to medical students from Florida State University as well as PA students from Lincoln Memorial University, and enjoys teaching students. In addition to caring for patients in the office, you may be able to accompany the preceptor to area nursing homes.
During your experience, you will learn the following U.S. medical practices under the preceptor’s supervision:
Taking patient histories under supervision.
Performing exams under the physician's supervision.

How to obtain a letter of recommendation:

Dr. Desai has provided the physician with guidelines about best practices in letter writing that meet residency program requirements. In some cases, the preceptor may ask the rotator to write a letter of recommendation draft.

Testimonials
Overall, the experience was very constructive and truly exceeded my expectations. One of the aspects that impressed me the most was how innovative and forward thinking the supervising physician is. The doctor's approach goes far beyond the purely technical aspects of pathology. The doctor consistently emphasizes a broader, more strategic vision of the field, with a strong focus on where pathology is heading and what skills and perspectives will be essential in the future. I also greatly appreciated the comprehensive nature of the training. There is a clear effort to cover all relevant areas in a structured and well organized manner, which creates a solid learning environment. Another aspect is the way the doctor works with the team. The professional relationships the doctor fosters are respectful, collaborative, and supportive, which clearly contributes to a positive and motivating work atmosphere. This, combined with the excellent organization of the rotation, made the experience both enjoyable and highly educational.
