I am going to be a sophomore in high school and am wondering if High School Students can shadow doctors in hospitals. If so, how should i go about finding a doctor to shadow? Do you have to already know a doctor and find out through them or can you just go to hospitals. Are there any hospitals in the Southern California area that are good to shadow at?
 
no, wait a few years enjoy life while your young, and study hard and get into a good college
 
you can contact your local hospital's Volunteer Coordinator. In some cases this may be the Human Resources office. Lots of hospitals have programs specifically set up for high school students to shadow / volunteer. Go for it!
