SHADOWING
What is shadowing?
Job shadowing involves spending time with a surgeon or resident to experience the day-to-day life of plastic surgery. This may involve spending time in a clinic, operating room, or on the ward.
Who may shadow?
To arrange shadowing, you must be a current medical student, or a student of health professions regulated by the Health Professions Act or Emergency Health Services Act in BC.
The BC College of Physicians and Surgeons does not support the practice of job shadowing or observing by individuals who are not enrolled as students of health professions regulated by the Health Professions Act or Emergency Health Services Act and who wish to observe as part of their curriculum, irrespective of patient consent.
