Anesthesia Shadowing Opportunities
Find the Right Opportunity For You
Shadowing or clinical observation is a critical component in preparing for a health career. We encourage all pre-health students to shadow clinicians in their prospective fields of interests. Shadowing can provide a realistic view of medicine, an understanding of the many ways one can participate in health care, and the skills and capabilities that are needed in a profession. Shadow dates are held Monday through Friday only, and are not available in January or July when we need to orient our new trainees. (Remember that you must be 18 or older to shadow in the OR.)
