NSU Medi Futures Virtual Shadowing Program
Every Fall & Winter semester, the Pre-Health & Pre-Professional Advising Office hosts a Virtual Shadowing Program known as Medi Futures NSU. Medi Futures NSU virtual shadowing program consists of 30+ presentations each semester from a wide array of healthcare professionals (physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, social workers, etc.).
All sessions are recorded & students must take short content quizzes at end of each week. The Medi-Futures team believes that all pre-health students deserve an opportunity to learn more about a career of interest, obtain guidance on how to effectively pursue a career, develop a relationship with a trusted mentor, and receive the many other potential benefits of shadowing. At the end of our program, a certificate is provided to students who meet the attendance and participation requirements.
For undecided students, rapid exposure to a broad range of careers can help to narrow down options to a few careers of interest. For students with defined career goals, exposure to the full breadth of healthcare professions provides an appreciation for the complexities of healthcare and how many professions play a role to provide excellent care to patients.
The Pre-Health & Pre-Professional Advising Office wants NSU students to have a good understanding of each career pathway in healthcare and the virtual Shadowing program provides a unique way to provide such exposure to the industry.
