Shadowing

I shadowed a pediatric physician over my spring break. Hiram set up students with alum so that the students could shadow them. I was really excited about it. The dr. was about a half hour from my house. Even though it was my first technical shadowing experience, I really learned a lot. I observed the doctor and found some things that I really like, and other things I would do different if I were a physician. The staff, nurses, and nurse practicioner were great. They answered all my questions and talked to me about other things. There is so much time involved to be a dr. It really made me think about a lot. I sure did a lot of talking with my mom afterward about the pros and cons, as well as some interesting cases that I saw. I think it is great that Hiram connects current students with alum. Going to the actual job shows you more than any book could.
