So far what I have done is:
- Call up the doctor's office, inform the receptionist that I am a pre-med student looking to shadow Dr. X and if she can give me the fax number, I can send in my resume along with a cover letter; and that she can hand it in to the Doctor.
I have faxed a couple of resumes to different clinics, but the receptionist often ends up giving the letter to the clinic supervisor and when I call them back, she is like oh yeah we will let you know soon
So far I have had no luck going through this channel. What other ways will you guys recommend. Will going to the clinic personally and giving them my resume myself help give me a positive? But even then, the resume will prolly end up with the clinic supervisor.
Please let me know other ways you have employed to glean shadowing opportunities. PS: I have no doctor contacts and Pre-med club is not an option since they charge students for it at my uni
