| Shadow
areas |
A student may
rank three (3) areas they wish to shadow on the student
information sheet. We will make our best effort to places the
student in their preferred occupation if possible, but first
choices may not always be available.
Surgery and
radiology shadowing is usually best in the morning as more
procedures are done then due to patients being unable to eat
before the procedures
We have very few
pediatric patients, so we arent able to provide experience in
that area.
Shadowing is done in 1-2 hour blocks, but can
be longer if approved by the Department Head (such as for a
surgery that lasts longer than 2 hours.) |

natures of the new hipaa (health insurance portability and
accountability act of 1996) regulations, confidentiality is a
must. All students must complete and pass the confidentiality
