Shadowing
Shadowing a professional in your field of interest is a great way to get a first-hand look at what it's like to be in that role and help you decide if medicine is the right career for you.
Benefits include:
Gaining first-hand experience of what it is like to be a medical professional by observing the day-to-day work and the doctor's interactions with patients as well as seeing how they diagnose and treat illnesses.
Building relationships with medical professionals.
Opportunity to develop your clinical skills.
Learning about the medical field in general as well as different specialties of medicine to see which one interests you the most.
