Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
Morning sessions were spent with the nuclear medicine attending and one fellow, the afternoons with cardiology residents and a cardiology attending. Attendings taught as they went through studies. Dr. Ali is a great teacher. Discussion is geared towards resident teaching, but he encourages questions from medical students. |
