Additional Notes:

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.
