Future Preceptors

My student has a very pleasant demeanor. She is easy to get along with and works well with all staff. She has a good foundation of knowledge that will continue to grow. She has a great growth-mindset and always looking for ways to improve. She is able to easily build rapport and trust with patients. She is great at charting and willing to learn and do things that providers do that aren't necessarily taught in the classroom.

My student is a valuable part of the team and will be missed. She built our palliative medicine program which is being used by the Utah CMS QIO Comagine. She is a role model as an advocate for even difficult patients and has great interpersonal skills and bedside manner. I recommend she seek a management and leadership position. She is a provider I would send my family to.

My student was incredible. She was hard-working, dependable, compassionate, and empathetic. She’s the type of student that preceptors want to teach because she takes it all in and improves/grows. I was quite impressed with her technical skills in the operating room and felt comfortable leaving her with my patients to take notes and formulate assessments. She is a skilled practitioner and very good at putting patients' minds at ease.

My student has an impressive background which gives her exceptional confidence and competence which is not often seen in a first clinical rotation. I was amazed at her fund of knowledge and her enthusiasm for filling any gaps in her knowledge.

My student is extremely dependable, honest, thoughtful, insightful, and intellectually curious. He understands social awareness and social cues. He is excellent with kids who had no trouble warming up to him as his style. Parents also respected his approach and instructions. He is able to easily adapt, learn quickly, apply knowledge with precision, and has a humbled demeanor that will make him an excellent physician assistant. I have complete confidence and faith that he will continue to do well, advance tremendously, and be a great asset to his patients and employment.

Life experience has made my student a very strong and well-liked provider. He has gained the respect of patients, office staff, as well as providers. He is very well-liked and will be missed as part of our practice. My student will go far as a provider and I feel will be a great asset to any practice he chooses to join. He will be a great ambassador of our profession.

My student was proactive, helpful, and had great relations with staff and patients. Numerous patients commented on my student being very personal. He engaged very well and was extremely comfortable with pediatric patients which can be challenging for many students. He was focused on helping expedite the flow of patients and helping wherever needed.

My student was willing to start seeing patients on Day 1. There were moments when he helped us room patients and perform a full assessment. He seemed to have good time management when interviewing patients. He was a good listener, friendly, interactive with staff, willing to learn and try new things, and open to suggestions. Out of all of the students I've had, he has been the best at presentation and a couple of patients said we should hire him. In the short time I was with him, I saw a big change from essentially performing "book medicine" to really embodying the "art of medicine."
