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.
Please note that these sessions take place by Zoom. Prior to the experience, the preceptor encourages learners to review their anatomy.

Testimonials
Dr. X is an excellent preceptor and educator. One of the doctor's greatest strengths is the ability to simplify difficult clinical concepts and explain the reasoning behind diagnosis and management in a way that is easy to understand and remember. Dr. X's teaching is consistently evidence-based and up to date; the doctor frequently refers to current research and guidelines and then compares the evidence with what the doctor has observed and implemented in practice. This made the rotation especially valuable because I was able to understand not only what the current recommendations are, but also how they are applied to real patients.
I was also very impressed by the care and attention Dr. X gave to patients. Even when an issue extended beyond the immediate infectious disease problem for which we was consulted, the doctor remained attentive to the patient's overall clinical picture and concerns. The doctor communicated complex medical information in simple, reassuring language, and it was clear that patients trusted him, felt comfortable asking questions, and were genuinely happy to see the doctor.
The infectious disease service also provides exposure to a very broad range of patients and clinical conditions. Because consultations take place throughout the hospital, I had the opportunity to observe patients across different levels of care and clinical settings, including the medical floors and ICU. This made the experience valuable not only for learning infectious disease but also for strengthening my understanding of inpatient internal medicine and the management of medically complex patients.
Dr. X is very friendly, kind, and approachable. I never felt hesitant to ask questions, and the doctor created an environment where learning felt natural rather than intimidating. The doctor regularly encouraged clinical reasoning and discussion rather than simply providing an answer. Overall, this was an excellent rotation for gaining exposure to evidence-based infectious disease, inpatient medicine, and thoughtful patient-centered care.
