Hi,
I'm interested in MD-PhD and have been shadowing a MD-PhD radiologist for sometime now. There's a limit for shadowing terms at my school's hospital. When I can shadow again, should I return to the same department? The doctor I shadowed is the department head and is perfectly fine with me shadowing his fellows and colleagues.
I learned a lot from him and really hope to develop a relationship with him. Because I'm so excited and curious about his research, he's extra-friendly to me, i.e. teaching me a bunch of techniques and offering me a position in his lab. If I stay in his department both in terms of shadowing and volunteering until I apply for MD-PhD, I'm pretty sure I can get a rec letter from him.
*I haven't discuss the volunteering with him. Should I do that? I'm hoping he can talk to the volunteering department and pull me to his clinic.
I want to specialize in oncology in the future.
Thanks
