Welcome to my Clinical Shadowing Portfolio, a collection of de-identified notes documenting my shadowing experiences as a premed student with a computer science background. This repository showcases my exposure to clinical settings, including anesthesia and cardiothoracic critical care, through detailed observations, medical terminology, and reflections on patient care and interdisciplinary teamwork. The records demonstrate my commitment to a career as a physician and my ability to integrate clinical insights with technical precision.
All notes are fully de-identified to comply with HIPAA and institutional privacy standards, removing clinician names, specific locations, and patient details. The portfolio is designed for medical school applications, professional development, and sharing with mentors, reflecting my growth in understanding healthcare delivery.
- Cardiothoracic Critical Care Shadowing: Records of observations in critical care, focusing on diagnostic imaging (e.g., TTE, TEE) and discussions on palliative care.
- Anesthesia Shadowing: Planned notes from observing anesthesia management in orthopedic procedures, including induction, monitoring, and patient safety protocols.
- Future Additions: Planned inclusion of de-identified notes from ongoing shadowing in various medical specialties.
As a premed student with a computer science background, I bring a unique perspective to clinical shadowing, combining technical precision (e.g., experience with Python, algorithms, and cybersecurity) with a passion for patient-centered care. My shadowing experiences at academic medical centers have deepened my understanding of medical procedures, teamwork, and ethical considerations, preparing me for medical school and a career in healthcare.
These notes are intended for educational purposes, showcasing clinical exposure and reflective learning. They may be reviewed by medical school admissions committees, mentors, or peers interested in premed clinical experiences. All records are anonymized to ensure privacy and compliance with ethical standards.
All content is de-identified for educational purposes only, compliant with privacy standards. This portfolio is not for clinical use and reflects personal observations from shadowing experiences.
For inquiries or feedback, please reach out via my personal website. I welcome opportunities to discuss my shadowing experiences and medical career aspirations.
I am grateful to the physicians and healthcare teams who have mentored me, providing invaluable insights into clinical practice and patient care.
