>Attention Freshmen and Sophomores:
>
>The MIT Preprofessional Advising Office, in conjunction with 
>Massachusetts General Hospital, is pleased to announce the second 
>annual MGH-MIT Shadow Program. The shadow program is for current MIT 
>freshmen and sophomore 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. At this time, there are 
>approximately 30 prearranged shadow opportunities that may be one 
>half-day or one full-day in length. (Please know that we are 
>currently still recruiting and that more opportunities will likely 
>open.) 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 March 2008.
>
>In order to be considered for a shadow assignment, you must respond 
>to this message with a copy of your most recent resume as an email 
>attachment and ranked preferences for a shadow match (see the 
>options towards the end of this message).  Students who do not send 
>a copy of their resume will not be considered for a shadow 
>opportunity.  Students are highly encouraged to utilize one or more 
>of the following resources to revise and critique their resume 
>before submitting it to the program:
>
>*	Online Resume workshop at 
>http://web.mit.edu/career/www/workshops/resumeworkshop05.pdf
>
>*	MIT Careers Office Workbook available in our office and at 
>http://web.mit.edu/career/www/students/workbook.pdf
>
>*	Resume Tip Sheet available at 
>http://web.mit.edu/career/www/guide/resumes.html
>
>
>After using one of the prior listed resources.
>*	Resume critiques are offered in the MIT Careers Office 
>(12-170) during general walk-in hours: Monday through Friday from 
>11am-1pm and Wednesdays from 5pm-7pm or during preprofessional 
>walk-in hours: Monday 1-2pm and Thursdays 10-11am. Please note that 
>all walk-ins end on the last day of classes, Wednesday, December 12, 
>2007, after the 12th, appointments will only be available.
>
>*	If walk-ins conflict with your schedule, make an appointment 
>for an "MGH-MIT Shadow Program resume critique" in person or by 
>calling the MIT Careers Office at (617) 258-9150.
>
>Please know your resume is the first impression the physician you 
>shadow will have of you. Be sure to put care into crafting your 
>resume by using one or more of the above resources! If you have 
>already had your resume critiqued in the Careers Office you do not 
>necessarily have to do it again to apply for a shadow opportunity.
>
>In addition to submitting your resume, please also rank your top 5 
>specialty preferences for your shadow opportunity.  When possible, 
>your preferences will be used to make shadow assignments, however, 
>we are not able to guarantee specific specialty assignments. All 
>students should have an open mind to different specialty areas when 
>participating in a shadow opportunity. Shadow assignments will be 
>made on a first-come, first-served basis to those who have submitted 
>both a resume and their preferences.  We currently have shadow 
>opportunities in the following areas:
>
>___ Anesthesiology               ___ 
>Obstetrics/Gynecology                                      
>___ Emergency                    ___ Pediatric Intensive Care

>___ No preference
>
>
>Please note that this program filled up very quickly last year. If 
>you are interested in participating please do not delay in 
>submitting your resume and ranked preferences! Due to limited 
>spaces, we will not be able to assign previous participants with an 
>opportunity. Shadow assignments will be sent via email starting the 
>week of December 17, 2007. Students responding after shadow 
>opportunities have been filled will be placed on a waitlist.
>
>If you have any further questions and/or would like to sign up for a 
>shadow opportunity, please contact Sara Marshall (smarshal at mit.edu,
