Information about this clinical experience:
This is an outpatient experience during which you will be under the supervision of a well regarded physician educator who is board certified in Internal Medicine. As an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, the doctor has been actively involved in the education of first- and second-year medical students. The preceptor enjoys teaching learners how to take complete/focused histories and exams, develop differential diagnoses, formulate treatment plans, and present cases. The doctor holds staff appointments at North Shore University Hospital, Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and St. Francis Hospital.
During your experience, you will learn the following U.S. medical practices under the preceptor’s supervision:
Taking patient histories.
Performing physical exams under the physician's supervision.
Accessing or using the EMR.
Have opportunities to research the literature to answer clinical questions at the point of care.

International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking US clinical experience in Internal Medicine; IMGs seeking careers in family medicine or internal medicine.
How to obtain a letter of recommendation:
The rotator should ask the preceptor for a LOR near the conclusion of the rotation. 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.

Our team will be checking in periodically with you to ensure that you are having an optimal experience. We encourage you to contact us if you have any questions during the rotation.
Testimonials
A major strength of Dr. X is that the doctor is very attentive to the needs and goals of rotating students. For students doing USCE for the first time, it can often be unclear what exactly they are expected to do during the rotation. Dr. X provides active and specific feedback on what students should focus on and what areas they need to improve, which makes this rotation especially valuable for those who are new to clinical training in the U.S.
Because students work closely with the doctor one-on-one, without residents in between, they are able to spend a significant amount of time interacting directly with the preceptor. I believe this rotation would be particularly helpful for students who have not previously had an observership or a structured USCE experience.
