I was hoping to get your opinions on shadowing physicians. If and when I do apply for med school, I'm looking at doing a internal medicine residence with either going into a career as a internist or possibly specializing in endocrinology, infectious disease, or allergy/immunology. That being the case I have two questions.
1) What 2 or 3 different kinds of doctors should I shadow if my intention is to do IM?
2) I have several personal physicians. Do you think it is a good idea to shadow with my own personal physicians who have known and seen me as a patient for many many years or shadow with a doctor who does not know me at all??
I look forward to your opinions!
