Educator of the Month - August 2016
Dr. Patricia Rogers, MD
Professor, Department of Pediatrics and Family Medicine
Dr. Rogers cares that students are learning by assessing our level of knowledge by challenging us with questions. She encourages students to be actively involved in the clerkship. She is always willing to listen to presentation and is involved with student learning. She makes it a point to make expectations known in the beginning and checks up with us afterwards to make sure we are performing as expected.
