Slide3Experiences
Preceptor (Dr. Shackleton) is very willing to allow you to do most of the procedures, patient interviews, and make important decisions for patient careThere is a fair bit of freedom to spend time with other providers including the general surgeon, OB/GYN, and orthopedic surgeon (especially if there is a slow day in clinic or if it’s one of the patients you saw in clinic or emergency department)
Many of the providers are very willing to teach and will grab you if they have an interesting patient
Preceptor is very accommodating if you need to leave town for other activities
Slide4Skills I learned
Delivered babiesPerformed circumcisionsInjections, skin biopsies, suturing
Scrubbed into C-sections, cholecystectomies, I&D’s, various orthopedic procedures, and endoscopies

Learned about the impressive extent of facilities as well as the limitations of a critical access hospital
Inpatient and nursing home rounding
Slide5Logistics
The attending also functions as the Medical Director and so does not have clinic during one day out of the week (which can be used to study or spend time with other providers)
The attending sees 10-12 patients daily (mostly women) on average giving you more time to talk with the patients and develop report with them as well as discuss topics with the doctor
You take call about every 4-5
th
day with your preceptor
You stay with the preceptor at her house (basically have free reign of the upstairs)
Can use kitchen at preceptor’s home freely but all meals can be provided for free at the hospital if desired
Currently undergoing a hospital expansion project to be able to support more patients and expand care
