My eighth rotation was Surgery at Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. Honestly, I was nervous going into the rotation with the understanding of the demanding schedule and the amount of the time to be spent in the OR. While the early hours were challenging, I truly enjoyed and learned a lot from this rotation. It was amazing getting to see patients either in the ER or in the clinic and then again in the OR, unlike any other rotation. I learned a lot from both the clinic aspect of the schedule, seeing patients with surgical complaints and from my …

I presented this article at my first site visit titled: Surgical site infection in mesh repair for ventral hernia in contaminated field: A systematic review and meta-analysis. I researched this topic as a case I scrubbed into was an emergency laparotomy for a patient with an incarcerated ventral hernia causing a small bowel obstruction. During the procedure, the small bowel perforated and enteric contents with fecal material was spilled causing the wound/field to become contaminated. Therefore, I wanted to know about mesh repair increasing the incidence of SSI in a contaminated field. The results I found from the research was …

PANCE Prep Plan I am currently in my 7th rotation of the clinical year which means my 8th rotation will be in January and the last one following that. I therefore plan to take my PANCE exam 6 weeks after the completion of my 9th rotation in April. Due to me being two rotations behind the rest of the majority of the class, I did not take my End of Curriculum Exam yet and so I don’t have that breakdown to help me create my PANCE Prep Plan right now but when I do take the EOC exam and get …

My seventh rotation was Psychiatry at Queens Hospital Center CPEP. I was looking forward to this rotation as I knew it would be very different from past rotations. Although in the setting of the emergency room which I had already experienced, I imagined that the psych ER, CPEP, would provide me with a very different experience and patient-focus. One of my favorite parts of rotating through CPEP as opposed to inpatient psych was being able to see many different types of patients, with a variety of presentations and chief complaints. One patient that stands out to me was a Jewish …
