Shadowing Physicians

Also- her volunteer work is almost all in Spanish. That is why they like her so much.

What specialties she shadows doesn’t especially matter, so long at least some of her time is spent with primary care physicians. If she wants to shadow only primary care docs–that’s fine. But she should shadow several different doctors–not every physician has the same type of experiences/attitude/cllinical practice-- so she can have some exposure to the breadth of the profession.

Really she only needs to shadow each doctor a day, two at most, to get a feel how their day is organized and what they do with their time. (HINT: doctors do not spend 100% of their time seeing patients.)
