[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, many of these industries are much more regulated than they used to be. I’m a physician and definitely followed my dad around when I was in high school and everyone just allowed it. I’m sure they were also kind of annoyed by it. As an ER doctor, I have people try to connect their high school and college students with me and the answer is absolutely not. I’m seeing 3 to 5 critically ill patients an hour and it’s honestly kind of a nightmare in healthcare right now. If your child truly has an interest in healthcare, there are entry-level clinical jobs that they can do for the summer. Even better, have them apply to Scribe America. Those jobs are going to disappear fast because everyone’s going to AI, but some ERs and offices are still using kids that are interested in healthcare as scribes. There’s no better shadowing experience than being a scribe. Those kids went everywhere with me, including into every trauma.[/quote]

This kind of experience does seem to be about who you know. My sister is an ER doc and has let her HS daughter shadow her a bunch of times. [/quote]
