A nursing student, Sophia Eick is studying at the College of Health Sciences at the University of Delaware. Sophia Eick has gained nursing-related experience while shadowing the pediatric emergency care and trauma team at Nemours Alfred I. duPont Hospital.
Shadowing involves observing a doctor as they go about their routine work in a hospital, clinic, or operating room. Many medical schools in North America demand a minimum number of shadowing hours to give students admission. These hours vary from 12-24 hours, and some are as high as 75 hours. However, a few schools don’t demand shadowing hours at all. All things considered, shadowing helps the student decide what path they should take in their career. Many schools have not institutionalized helping students get shadowing opportunities. Therefore, most students have to find a hospital to approach themselves. A common way to do so is by contacting the college pre-med advisor who can help them find someone through a network of physicians.
