Finding a Shadowing Experience

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have any tips or advice for arranging a shadowing experience? I currently live in Michigan, so AAs are a bit of a rarity here. I have had some luck contacting Anesthesia group practices, but get held up by HR processing my health history or scheduling a training session. It's the last component of my application that's missing and I've been spamming docs like a fiend for the past few months to no avail.

Thanks!

Best thing to do is contact anesthesia departments at local hospitals. I've never seen anyone have to do HR processing for shadowing. Where do you live in MI? I also live here. Good luck with your application!
