Hi Everyone,

I'm a newbie here, and was just curious if any of you shadowed a physician and how you went about picking one to shadow. Did you shadow someone in a private practice or at a large hospital? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!

Do you have a particular specialty you're interested in? If you have a medical school close to your school, you might try emailing some clinical professors. Asking your own doctor about shadowing might get you extra leads too.

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually work at a large hospital and am interested in Hematology/Oncology.
