Information about this clinical experience:
You will be under the supervision of a physician who is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology. The doctor holds hospital privileges at Brooklyn Hospital, Maimonides Medical Center, and NYU Langone Medical Center, and was the former program director of the obstetrics and gynecology residency program at Lutheran Medical Center.
The preceptor has been practicing in New York for over two decades. During this time, the doctor has actively been involved in numerous physician organization and held leadership positions in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and Brooklyn Gynecological Society.
The attending has been a tireless contributor to community service, advocacy, and efforts to reduce healthcare disparities. The doctor is the recipient of numerous awards because of dedication and commitment to these causes.
The preceptor has been teaching international medical students and graduates for years, and is known as a wonderful mentor who really cares for students and their future. To allow students to understand the perspectives of other specialists in the field, the doctor also likes to have students spend clinical time with other obstetrics and gynecology colleagues in the office. What this means is you will get a chance to build relationships with other doctors and other professionals in the practice. This includes other specialists in the field, midwives, and nurses.
Please note that in the U.S. midwives are involved in approximately 10% of births. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and American College of Nurse-Midwives have released a joint statement encouraging mutual collaboration among both groups in patient care.
Residency programs are increasingly incorporating interprofessional education within their curricula to prepare trainees to work effectively with midwives for the shared goal of improving perinatal care.

Who should consider this rotation:

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. Because you will be working with the preceptor and colleagues, the main preceptor will write the letter of recommendation after acquiring feedback about your performance from all parties involved.

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
Dr. X is an excellent physician and a knowledgeable teacher. One of the doctor's greatest strengths as a preceptor is the ability to recognize and encourage a learner’s strengths while also identifying gaps in knowledge that the learner may not yet recognize. I always felt heard and supported, but I was also consistently challenged to think more critically and grow clinically.
The doctor taught me not only how to interpret laboratory results and imaging, but also how to communicate those findings effectively and compassionately to patients. In particular, I learned how to approach difficult conversations, including delivering a cancer diagnosis, in a way that is both direct and empathetic. These are skills that I know will be invaluable throughout residency and beyond.
The office staff were also incredible and became an important part of my education. They were patient, supportive, and willing to teach, and the entire team created an environment in which I felt trusted to become increasingly independent. I was able to perform and assist with far more procedures than I had expected, largely because of the teaching, supervision, and confidence that Dr. X and the staff placed in me.
This rotation provided an exceptional amount of clinical exposure and hands-on experience. I encountered a wide variety of patients, conditions, procedures, and challenging conversations, and I came away feeling significantly more prepared for residency. I am extremely grateful for the education, mentorship, and trust I received during this rotation.
