MAFP President Serves as
UMMC Student's Preceptor
Amy Kaur (M3) of UMMC was recently precepted by family physician Dr. David Wheat, MAFP President, at his clinic in Clinton, and she said working with him reminded her why she wanted to go into medicine. "Thus far in my third year, I haven't had the opportunity to spend this much time with an attending, and I honestly can't put into words how much he has improved my clinical knowledge as well as my skills in patient care," Kaur said. "He is a kind-hearted person who genuinely cares about his patients." ( Photo: Amy Kaur and Dr. David Wheat)
