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.

Testimonials
"This is the best hands-on rotation I have done till date. The physician is an incredible preceptor that encourages students to go above and beyond by seeing patients independently and takes every opportunity to teach them. He is a very passionate and caring physician evident by his rapport with his patients. He is really approachable so do not hesitate to ask him questions...The doctor would assign relevant medicine topics to students and take classes about the topic. At the end of the rotation he would give us a test consisting of step 2 CK questions and he would go through the explanations thoroughly. He encourages students to be as proactive with patients as possible - discuss reports with patients, make our own A&P in the EMR, interpret EKGs."
