Testimonials
Dr. X is great at creating an approachable, welcoming environment. The doctor listens actively to students and residents, gives clear feedback, and integrates you into the team. You need to be proactive to contribute and get the most out of the experience, but Dr. X is very receptive once you step forward. The service sees a large Spanish-speaking patient population, so conversational proficiency or at least a solid comprehension of Spanish is helpful. The rotation follows a well-structured daily schedule with morning report, rounds, and afternoon conferences, offering solid teaching across various internal medicine topics and regular interaction with other teams.
