Students shadow a coach doctor and are considered a doctor in training with 100% of the time foacused on learning objectsives and goals selected by the extern.
During their stay with us, we will mentor students through exam rooms with patients as well as shadowing in surgery. For exam rooms, we will have them shadow us into the room and then, when able to, have them perform their own physical and then compare after the room is over. Again, when able discuss the thought process before going over the work up of the case/treatment. For shadowing in surgery, we will have them scrub in and assist. Discussing the procedure and maybe for some that they had scrubbed in, perform a part of the procedure under us being scrubbed in as well - pending on how the surgeries go.
