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.
