Pros

-More in-depth experience than regular shadowing and you get paid for it -Get to learn about the paperwork aspect of medicine -Opportunity to work with doctors who are really excited about their work

Cons

-expects you to become an expert after 6 in-person days of training -forget lunch/bathroom breaks (any free time you have will be spent fixing charts; also almost all your trainers will not bother eating anything during the entire 9 hour shift, making it difficult to ask for a meal break. In my case, they would go to the bathroom when I was fixing my charts so I could really only go the bathroom when I was done with my shift.) -stress is not worth the "super-shadowing" experience (you'll be experiencing plenty of this in med school and beyond so why bother now)

Pros

I believe there's flexibility in some hours. Paid training.

Cons

My onboarding process has taken over 2 months and I've only clocked in for mandatory trainings with little to no communication from managers or hiring staff. $10 an hour.
