>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

>(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

> 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
>contact Colin Smith
