About
The Management in Medicine Shadowing Programme provides medical students, doctors in training, postgraduate students and others with an interest in healthcare management, with an opportunity to shadow a senior manager in healthcare, or social services for approximately two half-days. The purpose of the shadowing is to give those working or interested in healthcare an insight into the activities of managers, how they go about those activities and the issues on which they work. The Shadowing can be in person, virtual or a mixture.
This launch event will provide information about the Shadowing Programme and the opportunity to hear from previous shadows about their experiences. Dr Hicks will explain what is expected of those applying and those who are successful. The programme is competitive and priority will be given to those who attend the launch on 7 November.
In early December, potential shadows will be sent a list of all the participating managers and their job title. Potential Shadows will then be invited to apply, stating their preferences for the shadowing placement based on the information provided. Demand from shadows can exceed the supply of managers, so priority will be given to those who attend this launch event. There are a limited number of places available and the application process will be competitive.
It is possible to apply to take part in the Shadowing Programme alongside following the FMLM accredited Management in Medicine pathway or not.
