Hello,
I currently gain clinical experience by volunteering with a hospice company. I am looking for shadowing opportunities and a staff member suggested I attend a weekly staff meeting where attending physicians and other care providers discuss patient cases. Would this count toward physician shadowing or would it depend on how it was done? For example, if I was able to speak with the physician after the meeting would that reinforce the job-shadowing aspect? One more question: how do I document shadowing hours or is that something to be concerned about?
Thank you in advance for any insights provided.
