Opportunity 1:
Due to the challenges of finding shadowing opportunities in these uncertain times, a group at UGA is working to provide virtual shadowing hours to pre-health students. Each week we will meet with various health-care workers such as physicians, nurses, PAs, etc. During these Zoom meetings, students will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about certain careers. Furthermore, I will provide a letter of proof of hours attended every week.
GA Pre-Health Shadowing is focused on enabling medical shadowing opportunities through these unprecedented times. Now, more than ever, connecting students to healthcare workers is incredibly important and can provided valuable experience.
So far several students have signed up, but I was curious if you could send the registration form to your listserv, in case anyone is interested in joining.
Opportunity 2:On https://virtualshadowing.com: Every Tuesday night from about 8-10 pm EST, there is a zoom call with a physician who presents on their specialty with a Q+A session/tips for premed students. It is incredibly informative and interesting! There is a cap on the zoom call, so there is also a YouTube live for students who can’t get into the zoom. All the info is on the website and it is recommended that students sign up to receive email reminders and information about the weekly session.
