What could a HS kid learn shadowing a surgeon at a prestigious hospital? I had surgery at a “prestigious” teaching hospital, and the attending ALWAYS asked, “can we bring third year med students into your room and do you have privacy concerns?” They don’t ask for residents and fellows- they are already MD’s so the presumption is there that they have a “need to know”.
Who wants to be examined with a HS kid in the room?
So if the shadowing doesn’t involve patient contact- what would it involve- writing up clinical notes? Going for coffee? Sitting in on an administrative meeting to learn the new procedure for assigning parking spaces?
IDK- what has the surgeon told you you’d be doing???
