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
I had an excellent experience during this rotation. The attending physician was truly outstanding, and I learned a great deal from the doctor's clinical reasoning. In particular, I learned how to approach antibiotic escalation and de-escalation, as well as how to evaluate and manage a wide range of infectious diseases, including HIV.
The attending was very supportive and took great care of me throughout the rotation. The doctor also gave me valuable advice about residency and the Match process. Thanks to the doctor, I had the opportunity to meet the program director, and although a planned presentation session was eventually canceled, the doctor tried to give me a chance to present during didactic time (I was still able to give a presentation in front of the doctor and the resident).
I also appreciated learning not only clinical knowledge, but also how to work efficiently and communicate effectively with other healthcare professionals. Overall, this was a very meaningful and helpful rotation experience, and I am grateful for the support I received.
