Educator of the Month - February 2019
Patricia Rogers, MD
Professor
School of Medicine
Congratulations to Dr. Rogers for being nominated as AMT Educator of the Month for February 2019. She shows great dedication and enthusiasm for teaching her students in the School of Medicine.
“
Dr. Rogers was an excellent faculty and role model to learn from during my rotations on the pediatric clerkship. She was consistently professional and compassionate toward all patients. Dr. Rogers was always willing to listen to my patient presentations and provide constructive feedback to improve my performance on the clerkship, specifically in the areas of history taking, examination skills, and creating treatment plans for patients. She also instructed me to read about certain topics to present to her and checked my knowledge frequently. Because of her, I learned so much and my experience at the PCP was incredibly valuable."
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Rogers for this well-deserved honor.
