from the Physiology to the treatment plan for our daily cases and will even give us homework to discuss the next day. Their education exceeds my
expectations and I am truly grateful for the things they have taught me."

"take their time in teaching complicated cases / topics that are typically seen in the hospital and on board exams. They engage students by
asking questions, but always in a way to facilitate a learning moment rather than belittling the students. Their insights have been
invaluable..."

“one of the most amazing, heartfelt, knowledgeable clinicians I’ve ever met. The care and attention she gives to every patient and
student she works with speaks volumes to the type of person and doctor she is. She makes the ... rotation warm, welcoming, and a
wonderful place to be able to ask questions and learn in a judgement free zone."

do that are extremely useful not just for the shelf exam but the rotation itself. The attention to detail and the care that he puts into
teaching the students by running standardized patient encounters himself and doing simulation labs is fantastic supplemental
education that really makes the rotation feel above and beyond...”

students”
