Episode 171: Olivia Josephsen – A Guide To Shadowing In Pathology
In this episode, Olivia Josephsen and I take you step by step through how to get shadowing opportunities. While this is about pathologists assistants, these tips can be used in any laboratory profession. Â
We explain how to find someone to shadow, and how to contact them. Â While shadowing, it is important to ask questions, and we tell you why. Â
After shadowing you should follow up with the person you shadowed, especially if you intend to ask them for a letter of recommendation.
Shadowing isn’t all about the student either. Â Listen to find out how the person being shadowed can gain from it too. Â
We talk about virtual shadowing, and how it is a good option to increase availability of shadowing opportunities.
If you’re an experienced PA who is open to being shadowed, add #PathAShadow to your social media so students can find you.Â
