<p>Please, I need your advise. 1. How can I find MD who agrees for shadowing? I do not know any MD besides my pediatrician.
2. How can I start doing a research if my school does not participate in the research program for high schoolers?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>for starters do you have a hospital near your house that you can volunteer at?
some hospitals allow volunteers to work in the er or pharmacy dept. ( I do not mean doing medical procedures) that could be a very good and more easily attained option for you. </p>
<p>You could also ask your pediatrician for referrals.</p>
<p>you can ask your pediatrician and shadow him/her…great for primary care shadowing.</p>
<p>also…what about your parents??? Your mom’s ObGyn and your dad’s primary care physician? has anyone in your family used a dermatologist, ophthalmologist, orthopedic surgeon?</p>
<p>what about neighbors/friends? My son shadowed the doctor-parents of friends/classmates. </p>
<p>Thank you. I will post if I find a doctor. Actually I plan to start going to the nursing home - no shadowing, yet.<br>
BTW, my parents do not go to the doctors because of very high deductible insurance.</p>
