Testimonials
Dr. X is truly an exceptional mentor. The doctor took the time to understand each rotator's educational and cultural background and offered thoughtful guidance and encouragement without hesitation. It meant a lot to me that Dr. X had taken the time to look over my CV and USMLE scores before we even met. The doctor's sincere attention to each student’s background and needs made me feel truly supported and valued. Under Dr. X's supervision, I was able to systematically learn how to take patient histories and perform physical exams in both inpatient and outpatient settings. In recent years, with advances in diagnostic tools, history-taking and physical examination have often been overlooked — I was no exception. However, through this rotation with Dr. X, I was reminded of just how essential these clinical skills still are in patient assessment. These four weeks were a valuable time during which I could improve my communication skills in a relaxed and supportive environment. I already know I’ll look back fondly on my time in Houston. I'm sincerely grateful to Dr. X and MD2B for this meaningful opportunity.
