Shadowing - A Highschool Medical Science Program

The “Shadowing” program was designed by Node institute to complement career counselling for students, with respects to their individual needs and their conscious choice of Medical Schools. Participation is offered to students on their junior and sophomore years in Highschool (1st and 2nd Class of Greek Lykeion accordingly) that are considering pursuing a career in the medical field and want to familiarize themselves with it in action.

The program is carried out in HYGEIA hospital 6 weeks per year. Students are split into small groups and become the “shadow” of a specific doctor and their team for one week, following them throughout their daily tasks within all hospital grounds.

This specifically includes:

Each student can apply for the program through our platform, by completing the participation form, up to a month before the beginning of the period they are interested in. Updates on acceptance status are shared through a confirmation letter via each student’s parents’ email. The rule we choose to follow is that the first to apply will be the first to have their spot granted.

NoDE’s vision for “Shadowing” is that it shall serve as a bridge of communication for these aspiring junior doctors linking them with medical students, training and trained doctors around the world, offered by the interaction between them throughout the program.
