Testimonials

This preceptor was amazing in being very personable, friendly and caring. This was evident in Dr. X's interactions with every staff member and patients alike. Dr. X was kind enough to drive me to the different clinical settings and we had lunch everyday during which we talked about life and medicine in general. I felt I connected with Dr. X on a somewhat important level and as someone for whom meaningful connection counts, it was an amazing experience.
