Your giving me opportunities to get hands-on involvement in patient care and taking the time to teach really made it both an enjoyable and great learning experience. You really have a gift for teaching and making concepts clear—definitely one of the best residents I’ve learned from the past 2 years! I was also inspired by the way you interacted with patients and their families: explaining the situation, answering their questions, and putting them at ease. These are all skills I hope to learn and improve in as a resident someday. Jedel ButoySchool of Medicine (MS4)
