“Welcome To Your Internal Medicine Rotation: Tips From Your Colleagues and Faculty
FEEDBACK. EVERYDAY: A Campaign to improve feedback. Produced by Richard Serrao MD
An Introduction to My Life My Story
2016-2016 Boston University School of Medicine:
Educator of the Year in Clinical Sciences, Affiliated Program
2010-2010 VA Boston Healthcare System:
David Littman Award For Highest Quality Patient Care and Excellence in Teaching
As one of the associate clerkship directors/Evans Educators through BUSM and the VA onsite clerkship director for student inpatient medicine at the VA Boston Healthcare System, home to many regional training programs since 2010, I have enjoyed mentoring, advising, coaching and stimulating interest in internal medicine (my field) but strive more to listen to the medical student met with significant perceived hurdles in making a career choice, especially as third year comes to a close and students need to decide. I am open to all medical students, regardless of their rotation here at the VA or whether they are specifically assigned as my advisee, although ideally getting to know you on site helps to sift through your options. I aim to really listen to what you are grappling with and allow you to really listen to yourself in the process, aiming to find the best connection with your personality, interests, academic strengths and field of choice.
