FROM A VISITOR

“I was able to present patient cases, examine them, and practice several procedures. We took care of patients in the ICU, acute care, and general hospitalization. My preceptors were attentive, knowledgeable, and they had vocation.”

UNDERSTANDING THE U.S. SYSTEM

Inpatient vs outpatient care

Hospital systems are large networks of care that extend beyond the hospital itself — including clinics, nursing homes, and affiliated labs. Rotations often span multiple settings.

Inpatient rotations

In-patient care is care provided to patients admitted to a hospital or facility for an extended period. In-patient exposure during rotations is typically shadowing only, even if the rotation is hands-on.

Outpatient rotations

Outpatient care is care provided to patients who do not need admission to a hospital or facility. Outpatient care is most often provided at clinics or urgent care centers, but hospitals do also provide outpatient appointments in some cases.
