Tele-rotation
One month of tele rotation Each virtual session will occur via zoom and be approximately one hour, 2 days a week, for the 4-week block (total 10 hours of live interactive hours of hospital-based education). We review all the “bread and butter” cases seen in real patients in US hospitals and provide didactics on how to approach, diagnose, and treat these patients, in order to give residency applicants a leg up when going on for more rotations or beginning residency in the USA.
 You will get two (2) LORs (from different attendings) on hospital letterhead. One attending is a current PD for the TY program at Hackensack University Palisades and the other is Core Internal Medicine faculty at Hackensack University Palisades and teaching attending.
