Practical Experience in the Clinical Environment

This course will meet once a week on campus at the beginning of the semester to ensure you are prepared for your clinical shadowing experience. Our class time will focus on professionalism, the realities of practicing modern medicine, and your reflections on your shadowing experiences with the goal of a better understanding of your personal fit for a career in medicine. You will also shadow a physician or other healthcare professional at least four times throughout the semester at their home clinical site. Interested students can apply by filling out the application in the Class Notes below. The application is required for this course to ensure that students meet the requirements for shadowing and do not have significant prior shadowing experience.
