“Shadowing [the doctor] was an incredible experience! What I expected to be a 4-hour session in which I stand and watch from afar turned out to be an extremely interactive shadowing opportunity. Not only did [the doctor] make sure to explain what was happening at every step of the way, she made sure to explain things that made sense whether you were an undergraduate or one of the residents in the OR. … All in all, a really rewarding experience!”
