I recently completed my externship at Dr. Washington's clinic. I had an opportunity to get hands-on clinical experience including taking history and performing physical examination with his supervision. He provides autonomy with writing a SOAP not and discusses any changes he would recommend. In addition, we conducts one-on-one sessions at the end of the shift everyday to discuss interview skills, patient care and latest research studies.

Every shift was productive and I had something to learn. He not only teaches medical aspects but also discusses how to navigate the US healthcare system. He had been a great mentor who continuously supported my journey towards residency by providing advice on improving application and interview skills. In addition, he regularly gave assignments to read the latest research on certain topics and discussed them in the clinic.

His inputs in promoting a holistic healthcare has encourages the patients and externs to work on lifestyle changes while getting treated for the ailments. This helped them sustain the improvement. I continue to cherish working with him and his mentorship has been a great asset in the past year. I recommend Dr. Washington's externship to other foreign graduates and I would suggest to make the most of it.

Dr. Washington and his front office staff are amazing. I hated going to the doctor before I came here. He will take the time to examine you and offer you sound medical advice. The front office staff is amazing as well! I would wholeheartedly recommend them. Great service all around. No waiting 1hr+ for appointments everything is managed extremely well.

Under his assistance and supervision, I interviewed patients, assisted in writing patient notes, coordinated the appropriate tests, and got well versed with electronic medical records. Furthermore, he is a compassionate doctor who listens to his patients and teaches them about healthy lifestyles. He is an excellent mentor for immigrant medical graduates who are looking for externship opportunities. Externship at this place helped me with my confidence and also evolved me as a person. Thank you, Dr. Washington.

I consulted Dr Washington after receiving a questionable diagnosis from another doctor. Dr. Washington took the time to ask me quite a few questions that made it clear that he was really trying to understand the nature of my condition. As a result, I was able to avoid an unnecessary course of antibiotics, and the condition is healing nicely with the simple application of heat. It was nice to feel heard and respected.

I just did a four-week Externship at Dr. Roger Washington's practice. As an international medical graduate, it's extremely essential to have some exposure to the clinical setting in the US. During the four weeks, I learned a lot about the insurance/healthcare policy, communication skills, medical knowledge, and most importantly, the value of a family doctor.

You can tell that Dr. Washington is very passionate about his job. He cares much about his patients and tries his best to help them. I highly recommend Dr. Washington's practice.

I am an international medical graduate who wants to get some clinical experience in US health care. I found Dr Washington's externship program online. Its a 4 week hands on experience. This experience has definitely improved my clinical knowledge but most importantly my interpersonal skills which is of much value in the USA. Dr. Washington did not just treat the patients for their specific conditions but tried to improve their overall health and well being.

He listens to each patient attentively and answers all their questions. I am much impressed with how much it affects the final diagnosis as well as the physician patient relationship and want to impart these in my practice in future. And last but not the least the working environment and the staff are friendly and helped when i had a slightest problem. Thanks Dr. Washington.
