EXPERIENCE TYPES

Clinical experience types

Virtual rotations

Virtual rotations provide trainees with clinical experience from a telehealth approach. Like in-person experiences, virtual rotations give trainees experience in the U.S. healthcare system but rely on audio and video streaming technology to connect visitors with precepting physicians, their patients, and other medical trainees.

Pre-med shadowing

Pre-med shadowing experiences are for U.S. undergraduate students. Although these experiences are strictly shadowing, like a college internship, they provide trainees with real-world experience. Trainees have the potential to earn letters of evaluation to help them stand out on med school applications.
