Hi everyone, I am in first year medicine and many of my classmates have started shadowing physicians in their specialty of interest already. I hadn't contacted anyone yet and was starting to get nervous that I was dropping the ball on this one. I got in contact with several physicians in pediatrics and pediatric subspecialties this week and I have set up some dates in the next few months to shadow. What I am wondering is: what should I expect? What will shadowing be all about (ex. will I be strictly observing or will there be some opportunities to practice my clinical skills)?

Hi there! I know shadowing is a really common thing to do in the States, but I was wondering if it’s important for Canadians applying in Canada? I know it’s pretty much banned in BC, so I would hope that they don’t expect applicants to go against the rules to get shadowing. Any insight on this? Thanks!

I am a student majoring in mbb in undergrad, planning to go to dental school after graduation from undergrad. My school does not have any programs or connections to dentistry. (neither undergrad or grad) I really do not have a chance to participate in any of dentistry related experiences. (neither practicum or research available) Peers around me cannot help me with such matter either. But I see that other pre-dental students have already had so many experiences like job shadowing/volunteering/working at dental clinics or hospitals and I am just a student who have spent most of my uni

Hello. I have been looking for a dentist to shadow. Here is what I did. I tried to find a job in the dental office. But only found out that they only accept dental assistant and receptionist with diplomas. I emailed a few dentists who replied that they were not available. Any advice on how to find a dentist to shadow in Toronto?

Hello, I was always interested in emergency medicine and I thought it might be great experience to participate in a program abroad to gain a new perspective on the job. I was searching the possibilities there are, and I found this thing called Czech Hospital Placements Program. The page about their emergency department says that you can observe the doctors even during night shifts and it all seems really exciting. But I am not sure, if I want to participate, because I don't know anyone who has already experienced it. Don't you guys have any experience with this program? Any help is

1) I was wondering how necessary it is to shadow a doctor. It seems like people on studentdoctor place a heavy emphasis on this and most applicants have some sort of shadowing experience. I don't know how easy it would be to shadow a doctor here in Toronto (I'm open to suggestions). In terms of clinical experience I have 350 hours of hospital volunteering (in various departments) and a couple overseas medical trips (80 hours total). I can list the rest of my EC's if you want. 2) Can Candians qualify as URM? I am African-Canadian (Black) and I'm not sure whether I would qualify or not.
