Hi everyone,
My younger sister is an undergrad in the U.S., premed, and studying abroad at the Univ of Strathclyde in Glasgow next fall. If she were staying in the States that would be prime time to get some clinical exposure in (shadowing, etc) before she applies to med school, but she's nervous and wondering how to go about setting something like that up in Glasgow. I told her that I'm sure (based on no expertise whatsoever) that if she just contacts Glasgow Medical School or a doctor at one of the hospitals there, they would be happy to find a way to let her shadow, just like people do here. (I'm an MS2.)
Am I correct in my thinking? Does anyone have any advice for her?
Thanks!
