Personal Experience Of Shadowing Report

I shadowed Dr. Martin Skie at the University of Toledo Medical Center when I started contemplating a career as a physician. He is an orthopedic surgeon and I had the privilege to shadow during several surgeries, and throughout clinical rotations. I spent over fifty hours shadowing him over the course of a month. I also had the opportunity to shadow Dr. Zachary Ginsberg, an intensivist, in Kettering Medical Center’s intensive care unit. I was able to discuss the patients, their conditions, the lab results, imaging studies, medications, procedures, and the science behind the thought process while shadowing for over one hundred hours over several months. Both opportunities provided insight into different specialties and sparked my interest.Since

Shadowing physicians with drastically different doctoring styles and personalities helped me understand more than just the daily workload but also which doctoring style I prefer. I also learned that physicians need to work as a team with other physicians, nurses, medical staff and patients. I glimpsed at their busy schedules and found that physicians worked in the wards and in the clinic, took on-call duties every other weekend, filed their own billing and charting, covered each other, while still making time for their families. Being exposed to this has helped solidify my aspirations to one day become an effective and balanced physician. I aspire to be a physician who remembers the details, takes time to discuss treatment, and has a broad

Since my summer term freshman year, I have been periodically shadowing Oscar Habhab, MD and Joseph Keenan, DO in the emergency room. Along with gaining more medical knowledge, I continue to shadow them in order to gain a better understanding of the personality required to become a successful physician.

Discovery Program at Grady Memorial Hospital has inspired me to pursue an career in the medical field. Shadowing professions has helped to expand my knowledge about various jobs in the medical field. I got to experience how it's like in a hospital setting, witnessing a death from a cardiac arrest, seeing how a lumbar puncture procedure is done, and hear incoming patients through the dispatcher.

In addition to working full time as a research technician at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I have been trying to gain more clinical experience. I have shadowed a few physician-scientists from my laboratory who are oncologist while they are at clinics. I have also been in contact with a family doctor whom I plan on shadowing every weekend starting in September. Most of the physicians I have shadowed in the past were specialists in their field and I feel it is important to expose to all types of different physicians. Shadowing a family doctor will give me a better idea of what being a primary care provider entails.

My shadowing experience on October 15th was absolutely wonderful. I decided to shadow on the OB unit at Hays Medical Center. I became interested in OB after a shadowing experience I had this summer in Hutchinson. I originally started out with a Nurse Anesthetist that day and ended up in a Labor and Delivery room because the mother wanted an epidural. The Nurse Anesthetist allowed me to stay in the delivery room and watch the birth of the baby.

For my junior year job exploration, I chose to go to the Animal Hospital of Streamwood and shadow a veterinarian. I selected this job shadow because I have been interested in being a veterinarian in the past and I wanted to see what it would be like. This was definitely my favorite job shadow experience I have had thus far as I actually had an interest in what I was shadowing. What I liked about the job shadow was that I was not necessarily able to actively partake in taking care of any patients, but that I was able to get very close to each of the patients and observe more than five appointments from start to finish. What I didn’t like about my job shadow was that it had to be four hours long.

Mary’s Medical Center Shadowing Program: A rotational shadowing program that allows me to experience different facets of the medical field. I shadow E.R doctors, O.R surgeons, and an anesthesiologist to observe real cases for a better understanding of the medical diagnosis process.

Having the opportunity to shadowing in primary care practices was most profound to my introduction of the practice of clinical medicine. It was through observing patient interactions centered upon the diagnosis and treatment of common medical conditions that I was able utilize medical information I had learned as an undergraduate to the actual application of practicing medicine. For instance, information about diabetes mellitus learned from my anatomy and physiology course was transformed into the physically diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of the chronic condition in medical settings. Thus, shadowing in such a practice truly brought medicine to life for me. Likewise, while shadowing, I had the opportunity to listen to patients

Shadowing a doctor can be a deciding factor for pre-medical students prior to getting into medical school. It’s a defining experience that helps the pre-med students understand whether they truly want to be a physician or not. That’s why we, at Manhattan Orthopedic Care, wholeheartedly welcome the pre-medical students to shadow the work of Dr. Armin Tehrany, one of the best knee and shoulder specialists in New York.

I got the opportunity to carry out my Shadowing Project at Caring Hands between the months of February and March. This project let me see how the average workday would play out for both the assistants and the doctors themselves by observing the activities and procedures they performed on animals each day. Throughout my stay at Caring Hands, I was able to learn about how animals get an ultrasound, a dental abscess removal, and have their blood drawn. In addition, I observed

My experience during clinical shadowing under Dr. Hussain was an eye opening experience in many ways. I learned than more than I expected. My goals for the seventy-five hours of clinical shadowing were to reinforce classroom concepts in clinical settings review patient charts and discuss patient diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and care options with individual physicians, and Practice soft skills learned in FCM on patients, while making clinical correlations by using material taught to us. My final goal was to gain stronger appreciation and better insight with real life experience, rather than just in a classroom. At the end of the day I wanted this experience to help find out what kind of doctor I want to be.

As I wrapped up my shadowing experience with Dr. Tammy Hart, I reflected on how much I’ve learned from her during my time as her mentee. Shadowing Dr. Hart gave me a better understanding of what practicing as a Family Medicine doctor in a rural area is like. I am very grateful for the opportunity and that I was always welcomed into her practice to meet her patients and learn more about my future career. I know that my time there prepared me for medical school and exposed me to cases I may see as a practicing physician one day.

how emotionally enduring it can be for the patient and the doctor. I grew close
