“Being able to come back to Mosaic and do my clinical rotations is such an honor. The opportunities and learning experiences are vast at Mosaic and the physicians, nurses, and patients that I’ve worked with have made me a better student and person. The individualized teaching with physicians and the didactics that AHEC provides make this an incredible learning site for future physicians. I am fortunate to be back home for rotations and can’t wait for the rest of the experiences I have throughout the next two years."

“Clinical rotations at Mosaic provide an incredible learning opportunity. It is an honor to return to my hometown and to have the chance to participate in patient care with a higher level of responsibility. The entire staff at Mosaic has been welcoming and foster the learning environment I was seeking during my rotating years. The one-on-one time students have with physicians is of immense value. The additional resources and support AHEC provides rounds out the experience here. As my time here progresses, I look forward to being in circumstances that push me to be a better student. I know that the years I spend at Mosaic will help build my knowledge base to provide the best care to my patients."

“Rotating in northwest Missouri has been an exceptional experience. I can honestly say that every preceptor invests in my education and contributes to making me better prepared for my future. The best part of rotating here has without a doubt been the people I have encountered. The AHEC staff, nurses, physicians and patients are all integral parts of what makes this an amazing place to learn. It is also incredibly rewarding to be back in northwest Missouri to serve and learn from the same communities that gave me so much growing up. I am truly excited to see what the remainder of my time here brings!"
