Medical Students 

Medical students interested in participating should complete the OBGYN Shadowing Interest Form, indicating the month(s) during the academic year in which they are available to shadow. Students will be matched with providers based on student area(s) of interest and provider availability, with matches distributed once per month. Once matched, the student will be contacted to coordinate the specific date and time of the shadowing experience.

Please note that submission of the interest form does not guarantee a shadowing placement, as opportunities are dependent on provider availability and departmental capacity.

Premedical Students

Premedical students must have both the Student Observer Shadowing Application Packet and the observer Intake Form completed. Students who still need a VCU Health sponsor to complete the observer paperwork should email vcu.obgynshadowing23@gmail.com with the subject line “Pre-Medical Student Shadowing Interest.” You will receive a response with pre-signed forms to aid in completing the required observer approval process. All required documentation must be completed and approved prior to the shadowing experience.

Once you have completed the observer approval process you may fill out the OBGYN Shadowing Interest Form to be matched with a provider as detailed above.
