Testimonials

This was a fantastic learning experience. I got to do a lot of hands on history and physical. In addition i got to use the EMR system and write notes on patients which would be reviewed at the end of the day by the preceptor. Dr. X had an amazing bedside manner which was great to see in the day-to-day. All in all it was a fantastic experience and I would recommend it to everyone.
