<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">The MIT Global
Education and Career Development Center (GECDC), in conjunction with
Massachusetts General Hospital and Tufts Medical Center, is pleased to
announce the MIT Physician Shadow Program.<b> The shadow program is
for current MIT undergraduate students seeking the opportunity to see
first hand what a typical day is like for a physician and to gain
exposure to a health profession working environment.</b> Shadow
opportunities are typically one half-day or one full-day in length.
The duration, date and time of individual shadow experiences will be
determined between the student and the assigned physician. All shadow
opportunities are expected to be completed between January and April
2009.</font></blockquote>

considered for a shadow assignment, you must reply to this message
with a copy of your most recent resume as well as the completed
MIT-Physician Shadow Program Application Form both sent as
attachments</b>. Students who do not send a copy of their resume
will not be considered for a shadow opportunity. <b> Students

responded to demand by including Tufts Medical Center we do expect the
potential for more applicants than available opportunities. If
you are interested in participating please do not delay in submitting

Due to limited spaces, previous shadow program participants will be
placed on a waitlist should additional shadow opportunities be
available once all first time participants have been assigned.<b>
Shadow assignments will be sent via email starting the week of
December 15, 2008.</b><br>
