<blockquote type="cite" cite><b>The shadow program is for current MIT
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 2010.</blockquote>

Shadow Program will begin on December 2, 2009. The Shadow Program

from 9-5pm.</b><br>
<b>Note:</b> To ensure shadow opportunities for as many students as
possible, students may only shadow a physician at one
hospital.</blockquote>
