I am a
gynecologist in private practice in New York City. I would be
happy to
offer a premed student the opportunity to spend one morning or one
afternoon a week "shadowing" me in my office. The student could choose
to
continue
for a semester, or perhaps just for several weeks. This opportunity
would
allow
the student a glimpse of what the clinical practice of medicine is like
in a
small office setting, here in New York City. I am affiliated with Mt.
Sinai
Hospital, and as part of the experience, they could also accompany me to
the
operating room, if they're interested. They would also have the
opportunity to talk to a woman in medicine about the challenges, and
rewards, of
balancing a medical career and family. If you think that you have
interested
students, I'd be happy to participate.
