Go Beyond Virtual Physician Shadowing

By: MedSchoolCoach

With COVID-19, it’s difficult for premed students to accumulate the physician shadowing hours they need to get accepted into medical school. Fortunately, MedSchoolCoach has collaborated with dozens of the world’s best doctors to give students a behind-the-scenes look at practically every medical specialty in their Virtual Clinical Education series.

A Better Alternative to Virtual Shadowing

Nothing can replicate the experience of a student going into the operating room or being in a hospital exam room with a patient. Virtual physician shadowing can be non-immersive without allowing students to see the performance of duties or get a full picture of a doctor’s job. Sophisticated virtual shadowing experiences involve doctors walking pre-meds through cases themselves – and that is exactly what makes the MedSchoolCoach experience unique.

Virtual Clinical Education from MedSchoolCoach goes beyond virtual shadowing. It enables students to gain access to high-yield clinical learning with case-based education from leading physicians across more than 20 medical specialties.

Earn Extracurricular Credits with Virtual Shadowing Opportunities

If you’ve been looking for opportunities to shadow a doctor during COVID, look no further. The Virtual Clinical Education series provides several dozen medical specialties to explore, including:

Anesthesiology – Shadow Dr. Taylor Lindgren as she spends time in both the pre-op clinic and also in the operating room during various surgeries.

Dermatology – Shadow Dr. Newsha Lajevardi as she treats patients with a wide variety of medical, cosmetic, and pediatric dermatologic concerns.

Emergency Medicine – Shadow Dr. Ed Walsh as he sees patients ranging from infants to the elderly with a broad scope of conditions that bring them to the ER.

Interventional Radiology – Shadow Dr. Sahil Mehta as he discusses treating patients using a variety of minimally invasive endovascular and percutaneous procedures.

Modules are also available for diagnostic radiology, general surgery, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, child neurology, family medicine, OB-GYN, plastic surgery, psychiatry, vascular surgery, and many others.

At the completion of each training module, students can take a brief 5-question quiz. With each passing grade, students earn extracurricular hours to boost their medical school application and collect Completion Certificates which amplify their resume.

What Makes MedSchoolCoach Different?

MedSchoolCoach strives to enhance the learning of future generation of physicians. While they have paid programs for students to work one-on-one with physician mentors, they believe everyone should have access to learn about the amazing career of medicine.
