[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Meaning that 18 year old can observe surgery?! That seems crazy. Is this behind glass or close up?[/quote]

DP - Mine was allowed inside the OR room. They had to stay away from the sterile field, but did get a lot out of it. It was a pivotal experience for them. [/quote]

Pp. I'm shocked, I've always thought only medical students, not HS kids especially as the original PP (not the person I'm replying to) said not a formal program, just family and friends! I hope real consent is given from the patients, meaning not sprung on them the day of surgery.[/quote]

I just posted that dh works at a teaching hospital. If you are at a teaching hospital, there are residents, medical students, nursing students, college students and more uncommon high school students observing.[/quote]
