3rdtimesthecharm Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hello everyone, I am looking for a shadowing opportunity in the Orlando area. I am willing to drive further out of the city (anywhere between Clermont and Melbourne) for an opportunity. I currently have experience working in a primary care practice, and worked in the Emergency Department for a few years, so I would love to learn more about other specialities. Looking forward to hearing back from someone. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 There is a FL Pre-PA FaceBook group that has postings and responses sometimes, many around Orlando. You can also try cold calling. Private practices are generally a better bet (I got literally dozens of reluctant declines because hospital policy wouldn't allow it without a contract from a university or some other official body, despite the PA being interested in letting me shadow). I eventually got mine through volunteering at a free clinic and a friend of a friend. It is definitely a tricky hurdle to overcome, but persistence pays off. Also consider shadowing MDs as well, it all helps and that way you might be able to make a connection because the MD might "know someone." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
