[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I manage a surgical practice and we occasionally have high schoolers shadow ( not a formal program but just friends or family members of staff members). They are usually there for a day or 2 max. They’ll shadow some of the doctors and nurses when seeing patients in consults and pre/ post operative visits but they cannot go into the operating room to observe surgery if they are under 18. [/quote] Do patients have to give their written consent before HSer can come in? Can they say no?[/quote] We usually just ask the patient but don’t request written consent. The doctor / PA will say “ I have Larla here shadowing me today and she’s interested in becoming a doctor one day, are you ok if she sits in on this consultation “. I’d say about 8 times out of 10, the patients are ok with it. Many patients also appreciate that their doctor is nice enough to give that opportunity to a kid. [/quote]
