Information about this clinical experience:
This is an outpatient experience during which you will be under the supervision of a physician who is board-certified in Internal Medicine. The preceptor holds hospital privileges at Anne Arundel Medical Center. For years, the physician has been actively involved in the education of medical students and residents from different schools, including the Howard University College of Medicine.
This preceptor sees many patients with chronic medical conditions, and this will be an excellent opportunity to see and take part in the care of these disease processes in the outpatient setting. The physician also has a deep focus on preventive medicine, and IMGs will be able to gain a better understanding of the role internal medicine physicians play in the prevention and early detection of disease.

In some cases, the preceptor may ask the rotator to write a letter of recommendation draft.

Testimonials
Dr. X is a great physician and an inspiration to someone like me who is just starting to build their career. You can tell that Dr. X has a strong grasp of clinical knowledge by the way the doctor approaches a case and plans its management. Dr. X treats patients, continuously learns something from everyone, takes time to teach no matter how late it is in the day, and somehow manages to do all of that with the same enthusiasm and energy throughout the week. I've gained not just medical knowledge but also a fresh perspective on living in the US and building a career.
