Shadowing
Why is shadowing necessary? Shadowing a professional in your field of interest is essential for your professional school application. But beyond the application, understanding what medical professionals see, do and feel in their daily routines is an important experience for Pre-Professional students. It is one thing to see professions from a patient side or through videos, but in-person shadowing provides a deeper exposure and hopefully a fuller understanding of the profession. It also can be helpful for a pre-health student to experience and see the multidimensional, team-work aspect of medicine. So many different professions working together, all for patient health.
