Go Beyond Shadowing: Deeply Engage with Medicine

Did you miss our July webinar about how to go beyond shadowing and deeply engage with medicine? Here you'll find a link to the recording.

In July's webinar, resident physician and former medical school admissions committee member Dr. Mallory Kane discusses how students can move beyond passive observation and begin engaging with medicine in meaningful ways.

While shadowing is an important part of exploring a career in medicine, there are many other opportunities that allow students to develop deeper medical knowledge, demonstrate initiative, and gain experiences that help prepare them for a future as a physician.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• Why shadowing is important—and where its limitations lie

• How many shadowing hours are actually necessary

• Strategies to maximize the value of your shadowing experiences

• Ways to engage more deeply with medicine through patient care, research, scholarly projects, volunteering, and physician-led learning

• How to choose extracurricular activities that strengthen both your medical school application and your preparation for a career in medicine

Whether you’re a high school student, college student, parent, or educator, this webinar provides practical guidance on building a thoughtful, meaningful path toward medicine.
