Information about this clinical experience:
You will be under the supervision of a physician who is board-certified in Pediatrics. The preceptor holds hospital privileges at Maimonides Medical Center, New York Presbyterian Hospital, and Weill Cornell. The physician is presently Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medical College and Assistant Attending Pediatrician at New York Presbyterian Hospital and Maimonides Medical Center.
The doctor has practiced pediatrics in different settings and countries. The physician's career began as a pediatric hospitalist before the doctor established an outpatient practice in New York City where doctor splits time between Manhattan and Brooklyn offices. In the past, the physician was actively involved in the education of pediatrics residents at Maimonides Medical Center.
Because the preceptor has a background in both Western medicine and traditional and complementary medicine, this is an excellent opportunity to learn how to deliver holistic and evidence-based care utilizing either or both approaches. An increasing number of pediatric residency programs are incorporating complementary therapy in their curriculum in response to heightened demands for these services from parents and children. You will gain knowledge and experience in speaking to patients about lifestyle, yoga, and herbs among other treatment modalities.
During your experience, you will learn the following U.S. medical practices under the preceptor’s supervision:
Taking patient histories (escort patients to the room, check vitals, take HPI, enter info into EMR).
Performing physical exams under the physician's supervision.
Presenting patients.
Entering clinic progress notes into the EMR (eClinicalWorks).
Researching the literature to answer clinical questions at the point of care.
Have opportunities to teach other team members.
Spending time with other healthcare professionals in the office to understand their roles and responsibilities.
Who should consider this rotation:
International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking US clinical experience in pediatrics. IMGs seeking careers in family medicine will also find this rotation useful as the care of children is an important part of family medicine.
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
Dr. X is a great physician and an inspiration to someone like me who is just starting to build their career. You can tell that Dr. X has a strong grasp of clinical knowledge by the way the doctor approaches a case and plans its management. Dr. X treats patients, continuously learns something from everyone, takes time to teach no matter how late it is in the day, and somehow manages to do all of that with the same enthusiasm and energy throughout the week. I've gained not just medical knowledge but also a fresh perspective on living in the US and building a career.
