Interns shadow ONE preceptor for a minimum of 6-8 hours per week for the duration of the semester. The preceptor determines the degree of the intern’s involvement. All interns receive an intimate view of the patient-doctor relationship, a physician’s practice, and a glimpse of a physician’s daily life. If shadowing a surgeon, interns will get to witness surgery in the operation room.
