During my site visits, I presented two H&Ps that ranged from patients that came in for a variety of reasons. The site evaluator, Dr. Saint Martin, was very helpful and interested in the cases and gave useful advice on thinking critically about all the patients. Due to his strong background in Psychiatry, the advice and lessons were very helpful.

The evaluations in general were very helpful as it helped me better understand how to think about the patient’s past psych history playing an important role in their current admission.  Dr. Saint Martin was also great at helping us test our current knowledge and what sets different disease processes apart from each other. He was also great in helping us test our knowledge on the drugs utilized for our patients. He even went further to help up better understand what other drugs can be utilized for. Dr. Saint Martin also gave some great advice and anecdotes. I believe that the final site evaluation was very informative as well. Dr. Saint Martin also helped make the evaluations more educational by asking about certain disease processes and drugs that are used to treat or manage them. Overall, I found the evaluations to be very educational and helpful as a developing student.
