I have the opportunity to shadow my IM Doc for a whole week, M-F at one point this summer...and wonder if I should take him up on it or try to do 2-3 days (having to take vacation to do so).
I will say that he is not a big fan of the "2 or 3 hours here and there" type of shadowing, or even one day at a time...
He wants me to get a very good feel for what it's really like to be in his shoes and live the life of a Doc. I'm leaning toward just going ahead and doing it...although it will mean sacrificing some vacation time.
My biggest fear is that I would end up doing a lot of sitting around doing nothing while he does dictations, but am hopeful that wouldn't happen.
