CLINIC BASED HANDS-ON, INTERNAL MEDICINE

This is a unique learning experience for medical graduates who are committed to becoming effective, successful residents. The initiative is designed to prepare foreign medical graduates (IMGs) for the US clinical environment by providing them with hands-on clinical experience. Once processed through our office, you will be in good standing to initiate your experience as a clinical learner under the supervision of a resident, residency program faculty or teaching attending physician. At the end of your rotation you may request a performance-based letter of recommendation on Clinical/Hospital letterhead.
The externship program is designed to introduce you to electronic medical records, improve your communication skills and strengthen your overall clinical knowledge and skills, develop familiarity with the standard of informed consent, and routine outpatient procedures.
Goals:
While participating as a member of the team, you will learn to:

Perform detailed history taking and physical examination (under supervision).
Formulate a differential diagnosis based on the patient presentation.
Manage (under supervision) acute and chronic medical conditions faced in day to day practice.
Discuss possible management plans with the team.
Charting and note taking in the EMR (Athena/ Kareo).

The goal of the program is to provide international medical graduate physicians a valuable opportunity to learn about the health care system in the United States, as well as receive clinical experience in both outpatient and inpatient facilities. Also it is an opportunity to develop some important cultural sensitivity of awareness.

INTERNAL MEDICINE, TELE-ROTATION

Applicants are placed into groups who participate in sessions. Each session is made up of 3 – 4-hour interactions with the Physician and his team.
During the session Medical students/IMGs will take history, review medication, review CXR, EKG and even direct Medical Assistants and Nurses (Onsite) to perform Physical exam. On average IMGs see 5 – 6 patients in a day.
This rotation guarantees a minimum of two sessions in a week but also emphasizes students/IMGs will get more sessions in a week depending on the patient load and availability of the Physician.
Every Patient encounter is followed by Case Presentation to the Physician where an IMG will also formulate a management plan for the patient. This can be taken a step further by charting out how the follow up will look like and what additional investigations the IMG recommends.
There are also opportunities for topic presentation, case analysis, group discussions and other didactic experiences. This usually takes place on a weekend where the entire team is present allowing IMGs to interact with a wider audience.
Depending on the availability and local hospital regulations IMGs may also rotate/observe the Physician at a hospital (Orlando Health or Advent Health). If allowed to rotate/observe in a Hospital the student may request their LOR on a Hospital Letterhead. Otherwise, LOR is merit based and will be issued on a Clinic Letterhead.

Requirements:

Access to high speed internet and a compatible device to use video conference software (Zoom/Skype).
Dressed appropriately and present during clinic hours.
