I am going to start shadowing next monday. I really want to set a good impression. Also, it happens that I usually think of all the good questions after the fact. Does anyone have any good questions? Thanks.

don't be a gunner, dude. the obvious questions present themselves, the rest can wait until you don't get told never to come back.

but there are typical questions you should hit, i feel.
why medicine? lol jk
why should i NOT go into medicine?
best part of the job? worst? biggest obstacles in the field? in your day-to-day work?
what type of realistic job satisfactions can one expect going into the medical field? into your specialty? how/were your expectations met going into the field met?
then ask w/e else you feel like as situations unfold.

Do not try to prep questions or ask a huge number of them. The doc you are shadowing has to be able to think about his/her cases and do his/her job first. He or she will probably explain things as the cases come up and ask for questions in a spare moment.
Do not stress. Remember, it is called shadowing. The best way to make a good impression is to stay out of the way and learn as much as you can without interfering.
