Shadowing & Electives

Shadowing - For University of Calgary medical students only

If you are interested in shadowing one of our physiatrists, please go through the following steps:

1. Fill out the shadowing request form by clicking the red button below: 

2. Please do not contact staff or resident physicians directly for shadowing, as we are balancing all shadowing opportunities with time for resident, fellows and other trainees. Medical student pre-clerks at the University of Calgary may arrange Career Exploration weeks in physiatry, through Undergraduate Medical Education (UME). Clerks may arrange clerkship electives in physiatry.

3. If you have additional questions, please contact our program administrator Daphne and she will assist you (see the contact page for further information).

Please note shadowing opportunities may be limited depending on staff availability.

Once a staff preceptor is willing to take you on to shadow them, please provide confirmation that you have permission from the UofC medical school to join them. This can be done via emailing a letter you generate from your Associate Dean regarding the details of shadowing experiences.
