ORIENTATION

DR. MAJD JAZAERLY

CLASS OF 2017 was recently elected Chief Resident in his Internal Medicine Residency at HCA Healthcare/USF Morsani College of Medicine He is also pursuing a Cardiology Fellowship.

We look forward to seeing everything Dr. Jazaerly will accomplish!

How has your experience in Residency been so far?

Residency is a combination of challenges, hard work, achievements, and good memories. I’ve had an enjoyable experience with a group of great colleagues who became my second family. I’ve also met great attendings who I learn from every day. Being a chief resident in my third year is adding more to this experience. Now I have more responsibilities like setting up schedules, organizing meetings, and solving conflicts. Although these responsibilities require a lot of time and effort, they are allowing me to grow as a person and a physician.

How has the cOVid-19 pandemic affected your day to day?

It surely made things harder and more challenging. On the other hand this pandemic taught me how to be more efficient in terms of managing my time and priorities.

What is your favorite part about going to work every day?

Seeing the improvement of my patient’s health is one of my favorite things about my job. As well as the never ending learning opportunities I have with every new case and every new patient. On top of that, the responsibilities of chief residents make my day more challenging and enjoyable. GME: Blake Medical Center.

Where do you see yourself and your medical career in the next 5 years?

In five years I see myself as a cardiologist working as an associate in a hospital with a good research department. I am still waiting to start the fellowship to decide between Interventional, structural or Electro-Physiologist.

VIRTUAL ORIENTATION

Dr. Prasad Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, XUSOM EbÇK=aê=g=o~ÉF

The orientation sessions are icebreakers for the students, welcoming them into medical community. All the apprehensions of the students and parents regarding the medical school, the curriculum, the quality and the outcome are alleviated during the orientation sessions, and it also provides scope of interaction with the faculty. due to

cOVid-19 pandemic, delivery of the Orientation ceremony of Summer 2020 semester had to be done via virtual platform as a webinar.

The pre-orientation packet primed the students regarding the curriculum, student support, the schedule of the orientation program and the first week of medical curriculum. The students were also provided with key contact information. The orientation program lasted for 2 days, during which the students were presented with various aspects of XUSOM such as the curriculum, student support, clinical training, research, and student finance. It also consisted of sessions on study skills, IT support, online academic resources and a Q&A session with the Deans.

COVID-19 has not only posed a great challenge to medical community but also the medical education. Rapid transformation of the delivery of medical curriculum from classrooms to online platforms are imminent. Nevertheless, we have adopted mechanisms to ensure that the quality of delivery of the curriculum and the student support has not been compromised.
