>Attention Undergraduate Students:
>MIT-Physician Shadow Program
>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. 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. 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.
>In order to be 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. 
> 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>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>http://web.mit.edu/career/www/students/workbook.pdf
>·        Resume Tip Sheet available at 
><http://web.mit.edu/career/www/guide/resumes.html>http://web.mit.edu/career/www/guide/resumes.html
>After using one of the prior listed resourcesŠ
>
>Resume critiques are offered in the GECDC 
>(12-170) during the following walk-in hours and 
>through appointments:
>ÅÝ    General Walk-ins: Monday, Tuesday, 
>Thursday and Friday from 12pm-2pm and Wednesdays 
>from 1pm-6pm. Please note that all walk-ins end 
>on the last day of classes, Wednesday, December 
>10, 2008, after the 10th, appointments will only 
>be available.  Due to office renovations, there 
>will be no walk-ins on Thursday December 4th, 
>and Friday December 5th.
>ÅÝ     Preprofessional Walk-ins: Wednesday, 
>December 10th, 3-4pm and Thursday, December 11th 
>11-12pm.
>ÅÝ     Special Preprofessional Advising Shadow 
>Program Walk-ins: Friday, December 12th 12-2pm 
>with Colin Smith.
>
>If walk-ins conflict with your schedule, make an 
>appointment in-person or by calling the GECDC at 
>(617) 253-4733.
>  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 in the space provided on 
>the application form.  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 Surgery
>Pediatrics                               Neurology
>Surgery                                   Oncology
>Transplant Surgery
>Due to hospital requirements, we will be 
>verifying the status of your MIT Health 
>Requirements (immunizations etc.) with MIT 
>Medical.  In order to do this we require your 
>full legal name as well as your date of birth. 
>Space for this is provided on the application 
>form.
>Please note that this program filled up very 
>quickly last year.  While we have 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 your resume, ranked preferences and 
>legal name and date of birth!  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. Shadow 
>assignments will be sent via email starting the 
>week of December 15, 2008.
>
>If you have any further questions and/or would 
>like to sign up for a shadow opportunity, please
