Information about this clinical experience:
You will be under the supervision of a board-certified radiologist who has an extensive background in teaching health professions and medical students from the U.S. The physician has a particular interest in studying and researching complex cases of pneumoconiosis.
Known to be a passionate educator, the preceptor has developed a well-thought-out curriculum for learning. Sessions will be devoted to the fundamentals of radiology related to different imaging modalities, including ultrasound, CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine. Learners will become familiar with the indications, benefits, and limitations of these modalities in the diagnosis and management of patients. Rotators will also gain an understanding of the risks of radiation and contrast exposure.
The experience will include sessions dedicated to different body systems, including neuro, head and neck, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and musculoskeletal radiology. Time may be devoted to educating learners about focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST) and point of care ultrasound (POCUS). As each body system is discussed, common disorders and conditions will be discussed and the radiologist’s role in diagnosing and treating these disorders will be presented.
At the start of the rotation, the preceptor will inquire about your interests and goals for the rotation to personalize the experience and ensure that your needs are met. The preceptor will have the chance to get to know you because the sessions are interactive. Content and cases will be presented, and learners will be invited to participate and contribute. Questions are always welcome. The preceptor is known to be a patient teacher with a willingness to explain concepts and material in depth.

Testimonials
Dr. X is an excellent mentor who is truly interested in your learning experience, providing valuable feedback. The doctor likes to discuss relevant Internal Medicine topics, including those that arise from patient encounters and the ones students would like to learn about. In this rotation I was able to see patients with the doctor in the inpatient setting with common infectious diseases like bacterial pneumonia, URIs, C. difficile infection, and UTIs. I also learned about nausea/vomiting, constipation and pain management for hospitalized patients, and attended multidisciplinary rounds where I could see how patient care and discharge involves the teamwork of all services. In the outpatient setting I had the opportunity to see patients independently with common chronic medical conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, as well as perform a preventive evaluation regarding immunizations and screenings for adult patients. When interviewing patients, Dr. X encourages students to ask specific questions that are relevant for the diagnosis and/or treatment plan. The doctor also teaches how to present patients in an organized
manner and write notes in a way that the information is clear to the reader.
