Shadowing a Doctor
What to expect from your hospital shadowing experience, including details of our mentoring system, safety precautions and medical ethics.
If you’re a nursing or midwifery student, or are hoping to become one, our program can give you valuable first-hand experience of the working hospital environment. It also provides a unique insight into global health and working in challenging conditions.
Just like our pre-med students, you will be mentored by a medical doctor, as this to be the most effective way to give you exposure to the work of the entire clinical team.
In the Dominican Republic, doctors actually perform some of the functions that are carried out by nurses or midwives in America and the UK, so this mentoring system allows you to experience natural deliveries, Caesarean sections, and a broad range of ante- and post-natal services.
