Student Responsibilities - what is expected of students in terms of hours, days of the week, shadowing or actual support?:
Student will be available daily for 8 hours, Monday through Friday. She will primarily shadow, but, knowing her capabilities, I expect her to be actively involved in patient care, lab tests, and, if possible, hands-on procedures.
