<p>In a selective program that allows students to shadow almost 40 health care providers at a very well known hospital in the area in order to gain exposure in the medical field junior year, and then allows them to choose two specific fields they have an interest in for senior year. This program helps students gain insight into the medical field and gives them a hands on experience different from hospital volunteering. My senior year rotations are Neurology and Dermatology with one day a week in Histology. </p>
