Information about this clinical experience:
You will be under the supervision of a board-certified pediatrician who has had many years of experience serving as a clinician-educator. The physician holds a hospital appointment within the NYC Health + Hospitals System.
Rotators in this practice will have the opportunity to learn from an exceptionally dedicated pediatrician, a practitioner who believes that every child should be given the same type of care as we would want for our own children. The entire staff is committed to creating a warm, nurturing, and welcoming environment for children and their families.
Among the encounters will be newborn visits, well child exams, sick visits, vaccination appointments, and growth and development screenings. Common reasons for sick visits in this practice include fever, sore throat, cough, congestion, ear pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin rash. Rotators are encouraged to review the workup of these problems prior to the start of the rotation.
As many patients will be seen for well child visits, rotators are also encouraged to become familiar with vaccination schedules and developmental milestones:
Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule by Age
CDC’s Developmental Milestones
After one week of observation, you will learn the following under the preceptor’s supervision:
Taking patient histories under supervision.
Performing exams under the physician's supervision.
Presenting cases.
Reviewing patient information in the EMR (eClinicalWorks).
Researching the literature to answer clinical questions at the point of care.
Spending time with other healthcare professionals to understand their roles and responsibilities.
Who should consider this rotation:
International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking US clinical experience in pediatrics.
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.
During the rotation:
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
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. X for the invaluable mentorship and support provided during my first Family Medicine clinical experience in Atlanta. From the moment I arrived in the United States and stepped into the clinic, Dr. X created an exceptional learning environment. The doctor is highly knowledgeable, resourceful, professional, and approachable. The kindness extends not only to patients but also to learners, colleagues, and every member of the clinic staff. Beyond being an outstanding physician, Dr. X is also a compassionate father figure who treated me with warmth, patience, and genuine care.
As an international physician entering a new healthcare system, I initially faced challenges related to cultural differences, language barriers, and unfamiliar clinical workflows. Dr. X helped me navigate these obstacles and guided me through the complexities of the U.S. healthcare system. The mentorship enabled me to adapt quickly to the American medical environment and, most importantly, helped me rebuild my confidence as a physician.
I am currently participating in my second Family Medicine program in Philadelphia. Thanks to the solid foundation established during my time with Dr. X, I entered this new program with confidence from day one. I was able to integrate smoothly into the clinical team and perform at a level that earned the trust and respect of senior physicians early in the rotation. Much of this success can be attributed to the preparation and guidance I received from Dr. X.
Overall, Dr. X is an exceptional mentor, educator, and physician. Dr. X's dedication to teaching, clinical excellence, and genuine concern for the success of trainees make the doctor a role model for medical education. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. X as a mentor and clinical teacher. I will always be grateful for the doctor's guidance, and I hope to maintain contact with the doctor for many years to come. Dr. X's influence has played a significant role in my professional growth and transition into the U.S. healthcare system. Highest recommendation.
