Tele-Rotation in Internal Medicine in Telerotation
Specialties: Internal Medicine
Location: Telerotation
Price:
Hospital Letterhead: No
Faculty Appointment: No
Information about this clinical experience:
This is an outpatient experience during which you will be under the supervision of a dedicated physician educator who is board-certified in internal medicine. The physician has a background in teaching, having previously held a faculty appointment at Rutgers Medical School. The preceptor is on staff at several hospitals within the Atlantic Health System.
This clinical experience will expose you to a wide range of internal medicine problems. Through Zoom, you will observe numerous outpatient encounters with patients presenting with a range of acute complaints and chronic conditions. During these encounters, you may have opportunities to ask patients a few questions. At times, the preceptor may position the laptop camera in such a way that it allows rotators to view the EMR. In this way, students become more familiar with the EMR and how a seasoned clinician navigates through it and documents information. Of note, in a typical day, 40-60 patients are seen in the clinic.
On Fridays, rotators will engage in independent learning. Cases will be assigned of patients presenting to the emergency department or office with interesting presentations. Students will be asked to formulate differential diagnoses and decide on next steps in the evaluation of these patients, including which tests to order. The preceptor will discuss these cases with rotators during the following week. Rotators will be expected to provide a rationale for their recommendations. The preceptor will also deliver mini lectures throughout the week on common internal medicine topics.
From a logistical standpoint, rotators will receive a Zoom link every morning that will provide access to morning patient encounters and another Zoom link just prior to seeing afternoon patients.
Who should consider this rotation:
International medical graduates (IMGs) and students seeking clinical experience in Internal 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
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.
