without a car

St. Vincent Free Clinic

children who would otherwise slip
through the cracks

truly)

32. Nuts and Bolts
•Shadowing
•Preceptors in all departments who
have agreed to participate
•You are required to contact them by
email a “fair time” prior
•And you must rotate through
various areas

33. Nuts and Bolts
• We will plan to do a lab (2 to 3 hours) or
lecture (1 hour) monthly – shadowing is up to
you!
• Travel is an issue – we will come to ASU
campus whenever possible but we
recommend carpooling
• We will try to give advance notice of program
activities but due to the nature of physician's
schedule or lab materials we may only be able
to give 2 week notice.

34. Nuts and Bolts
•Dress Code
•You have to blend in = fairly formal
dress for shadowing
•Behavior Code

students - this year, we plan to enroll
