I am a medical graduate who completed a clinical observership under Dr. Saumil Mehta at Psychiatric Medical Associates, Plano, Texas.
This was a hands-off observership, with a manageable case load of around 10 patients per day, which allowed for focused and meaningful learning. The environment was supportive and conducive to understanding clinical practice in internal medicine primary care.
I had the opportunity to closely observe patient interactions, which helped me gain insight into clinical decision-making, communication, and patient management. Dr. Mehta is highly experienced, very approachable, and consistently took the time to clarify my doubts, providing clear and practical explanations.
Overall, this observership was a valuable experience for developing a deeper understanding of internal medicine primary care practice, and I would recommend it to students seeking a structured and supportive learning environment.
