Information about this clinical experience:
You will be under the supervision of a physician who is board-certified in neurology. The preceptor is a core faculty member of a neurology residency program, and is actively involved in the education of neurology residents. Neurology residents rotate through the clinic, and the preceptor also rounds daily in the hospital with residents of the program. This is a neurology residency program based at three hospitals - Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center, Mountain View Hospital, and Sunrise Children's Hospital and Medical Center.
This is an office-based neurology rotation during which you will see patients with a wide variety of neurological conditions. You will be able to hone your skills in history-taking, gain confidence in your ability to perform the neurological exam, present cases, and document your findings. Opportunities to observe procedures in the office, including EEG and NCV, will be made available to rotators.
On Thursday afternoons, you will take part in the academic half-day with the residents. These are didactics that have been developed for the neurology residents. These will take place either in-person or via Zoom.
During your experience, you will learn the following U.S. medical practices under the preceptor’s supervision:
Taking patient histories.
Perfroming exams under the physician's supervision.
Presenting patients.
Entering notes in the EMR.
Researching the literature to answer clinical questions at the point of care.
Educating patients.
Gaining an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of other healthcare professionals.
Who should consider this rotation:
International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking US clinical experience in neurology.
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.
During the rotation:
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
This was a wonderful rotation, especially for a first clinical experience. Dr. X is a friendly and knowledgeable mentor. The doctor fostered a comfortable environment to ask questions and clear any doubts. The staff was kind and welcoming too. The clinic had good patient flow, which was more than enough to gain a good clinical experience. Dr. X gives complete access to the EMR and lets students talk to the patient, get H&P and examine them as well. I had access to 3 different EMR systems in this rotation, which was very helpful. The doctor also encouraged topic presentations and had daily didactic sessions. Dr. X also helped me gain insight into what to expect from residency and US healthcare system. Overall a fantastic rotation and I'm grateful to Dr. X for helping me with my first rotation.
