BAHEC Student Comments

"Dr. Reiter was a wonderful preceptor. She gave me the right amount of independence and was encouraging. Her sense of humor and world view made her an ideal role model for how I'd like to run my practice/approach my career in the future. I really admire her." - Defiance

"Overall, the clerkship was very good. My only complaint is that having EMR makes it very difficult for students to obtain info about patients before going in to see them. It also makes it difficult to gain experience writing progress notes. Other than that, this clerkship showed me the power of communication and compassion in the doctor/patient relationship. It truly is one of the most important factors involved in a good patient experience." - Defiance

"Dr. Knipe provided a wonderful experience for me on Family Medicine. The experience allowed me to experience a variety of patients I would not have been able to meet in an urban setting and broadened my educational horizons. Everyone in the office staff was wonderful and helpful and genuinely cared for the patients. Highly recommended rotation!!" - Napoleon

Dr. Bidwell is a fantastic preceptor who genuinely cares about teaching. He gave alot of time and effort to instruct me in the practice of Family Medicine, and answered any questions I came up with. He also let me interact with and assess patients on my own. Overall, it was a great experience." - Napoleon

"This clerkship was a wonderful and educational experience. The best part was the amount of hands-on experience that I was able to get. The staff were also amazing. They are all very welcoming, excited to teach, and they truly made me feel like a part of the team. Dr. Harvey and Rao are both excellent preceptors. They have a genuine interest in teaching the students. I learned a great deal from both of them and enjoyed working with them." - Bryan

"I learned more during this rotation than I ever thought I could. Dr. Dajczak is an excellent teacher and is very thorough. He also taught me a lot about procedure skills in the OR and allowed me to practice my skills while giving great feedback. I would definitely recommend this rotation to everybody and wish I could have stayed here longer!" - Defiance

"Everyone at Defiance Clinic was extremely nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this rotation to all medical students." - Defiance

"Dr. Khan is a great teacher. Very pleasant to be around. Enjoyed the clerkship and all of Dr. Khan's help. Would have liked more patient interaction one on one." - Defiance

"Dr. Krueger was an excellent preceptor who, even though had a busy schedule, ALWAYS took time out to teach or answer any questions. He was excellent with EKG teaching. I wish I had more time here." - Napoleon

"Dr. Erwin is a great doctor and teacher. The 5 weeks I spent here was invaluable. It reignited my passion for medicine and has influenced me to strongly consider a career in gynecology and obstetrics.- Defiance

"Dr. Fofung is a kind, patient, intelligent man. I truly appreciate the opportunity to learn from him." - Wauseon

"Both Drs. Tantoco and Sroa provided autonomy and had high expectations of the medical student. I felt that I had significant responsibility for my patients and was involved in medical decision-making for the patients. I appreciated Dr. Sroa's emphasis on the pulmonary exam." - Bryan

"Dr. Keil was a phenomenal mentor. She gave me the opportunity to learn more about pathologies of different biopsies. She was very well experienced and provided stats and charts as to how to make distinctions between similar diseases. Thank you for allowing me to learn so much material in the 4 weeks allowed for this rotation." - Bryan

"Overall, a strong rotation. Dr. Bernardi is very enthusiastic about teaching and her busy schedule allows for seeing many derm patients per day which is important in this field." - Montpelier

"Dr. Pole is excellent at explaining results of tests and disease process. I would highly recommend this rotation to anyone pursuing radiology or any student that wants a general background in radiology for future reference." - Wauseon
