  Emergency Room Shadowing  
 
 
     
  EMSA members have the opportunity to experience first hand what it means to be an emergency medicine physician by shadowing physicians in the Department of Emergency Medicine at MCV. See what it is like to treat medical and trauma patients, and learn how the emergency room team works together to save lives.  
     
  You must complete the necessary forms prior to shadowing a physician. Download them now in Adobe PDF format. Return the completed forms to Gurav Bhatia in his Sanger 8th floor mailbox.
