Exploring Career Possibilities Through Shadowing Health Providers
Mimi interned at Renaissance Women’s Group in Austin over the summer, where she shadowed doctors, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, and registered nurses in both office and hospital settings. Closely observing these different health professionals in different settings and in constant interaction with each other gave her a deep familiarity with their daily work, allowing her to broaden her understanding of this work far beyond what she could learn from secondary sources. Ultimately, her experience this summer brought greater clarity and focus to her career goals. During her presentation, she will address the benefits and the challenges of shadowing health providers in a large group medical practice.
