<p>I am not familiar with the procedure. Do you ask a doctor for appointments or is there usually a program in place?</p>
<p>It depends on what area you are in. Some people will contact (phone, email, letter, etc.) the doctor directly and ask if they can shadow them. Some hospitals will have a program of some sorts in place where you might fill out some forms and they will arrange it for you. Your school's guidance counselor might also be able to help you.</p>
<p>There have been other threads discussing job shadowing a physician. You'll find other relevant information.
