Shadowing Programs from Hospitals/Med Schools in Houston

[agentfaithmd]

Hi everyone,

I found two shadowing programs from St. Luke's and Baylor.

1. Medical Mentor Program by St. Luke's
2. DeBakey Summer Surgery Program by Baylor College of Medicine

I know the typical thing is to ask a physician personally, but I was wondering if participating in these would be okay as well. Would these programs qualify as shadowing?
My pre-med advisor just suggested the traditional shadowing when I asked, but I am interested in applying to either of the above next summer (before I start my sophomore year). A second opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
MB

They seem fine to me. The worst that could happen is you don't get a spot, but you're no worse off.

I say so too! If not, I could always go the traditional route. I'm going to look into them some more, and I'll share how it goes when I apply.

Thank you!
