Approaching the end of MS1, I think I may be interested in doing ophthalmology. Have been doing some shadowing lately in clinic and the OR and really been enjoying it. However, I am concerned going forward that if I continue to shadow it will be more of a nuisance to the attending than anything.
My question is, how do I walk the line of engaged and showing continued interest while not being a bother since I am not really doing anything other than watching?
Related secondary question is, is there a way that I can be of more use for example during clinic that I could talk to the attending about? We precept in the ED and what not, and do initial patient interviews independently but ophthalmology clinic is a little different (obviously).
Input from MS3, MS4's, and residents appreciated.
