You\u2019ve done the research and doctor outreach, and you\u2019re getting ready for your very first day of shadowing a physician. Get ready to peek behind the curtain of what patient care looks like from the point of view of a clinician. Shadowing a doctor<\/a> is your opportunity to learn about the practice of medicine, what patient interactions look like, and what a typical day looks like in what could be your chosen specialty after medical school. Applying to medical school is a decision you\u2019ll be building toward for several years, and it\u2019s a good idea to know what you\u2019re getting yourself into. Of course, you\u2019re not going to be practicing medicine yourself, but you\u2019ll want to come prepared for your day or days of pre-med shadowing so you can represent yourself (and your school) well and learn as much as you can. Here are a few do\u2019s and don\u2019ts for the day-of.<\/span>
