I'm an undergraduate about to shadow an anesthesiologist for the first time. Any recommendations or things to be aware of? I just don't want to do something embarrassing or awkward.
Great point.Ask if you can stay the whole time that the physician you are shadowing is at work. Gives you a really good perspective on what a real day in medicine is. If the doc is there from 6am-6pm but you're only there from 10-4 and just see the cool procedures, that's not a full representation of being a doctor.
