Shadowing

• Use your connections, ask your vet/doctor/PT to shadow. If you have family members, ask them. Kelly Bay (kbay@eureka.edu) the school career development guru, has connections as well and can link you with Alumni. Just remember, always be polite, and send thank yous.

These are places that current/previous pre-health members have shadowed or worked at. If you would like to add to this list, please email us!

Sometimes it is hard to shadow in your desired field due to legal issues. Informational interviews are a great thing to do, especially as an underclassman. This blog has some great questions to ask, and will help you get started:
