Personal Reflection On Pediatrician Job Shadowing

128 Words1 Page

My overall thoughts of this project were a little negative at first, if I’m being honest. I didn’t like the idea of having to find a person to shadow, follow them around for about eight hours, and then write a research paper about my it. But, by the time the first shadowing was over, I was excited to go back. I observed great things and learned a lot. My final thoughts now are great. Overall, I was glad that I was given this project to complete because it helped me see what a pediatrician’s day consisted of. It let me see what a pediatrician does, how they do it, and why they do it. If I had another opportunity to job shadow, I would probably do it again.
