Just thought of this and it was too good not to share.

Finding shadowing opportunities can be tough if you lack a social network that includes a lot of physicians. Your state AHEC is probably a great place to look if you don't have any nearby free clinics or teaching hospitals that will take you in.

1) Google "AHEC + your state"
2) From that page, navigate to the regional office closest to you (i.e. "Central Nebraska; Southern Florida")
3) Find the "student opportunities" tab
4) Most of the states I've looked at specifically mention college student shadowing. If not, call the individual regional offices and ask.

Examples:

I keep getting sent to an AHEC website about quitting tobacco 🙁.

Can you help me navigate this, I live in Palm Beach County, Florida

Yeah that's kind of weird. I'd email their "info@... address and see what you get." Maybe that particular center only does tobacco stuff, but I doubt it.

Might have to drive...

This website is horrible, but I'd contact the recruitment guy: http://www.fkahec.org/contact.html
