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
This rotation gave me a tremendous exposure to patients from various socioeconomic backgrounds and stages of disease. I am confident that I saw more Parkinson’s patient (90 cases, from idiopathic to drug-induced and all possible manifestations of the disorder) than many of the first year residents back in my home country. The nursing facilities we visited also ranged from places situated in poor neighborhoods with lack of funding to high-end luxury facilities. The preceptor’s private clinic allows us many opportunities to interview and perform physical exams on patients which is really helpful. The inpatient psych rounds in the morning is my favorite part of the day. I got the chance to interview tons of patients for intake and by the end-of the rotation, I was able to interview new patients, diagnose, and suggest treatments within 10 minutes. I also got the chance to practice driving in the US as this rotation demands that we drive to various different places across the suburbs of Chicago. Overall, this rotation gave me the confidence that not only will I survive in the US residency training system, I will thrive in it.
