Job Shadow

     To set up a job shadow there are many ways of going about it.  One way to start is to look on the Web and find the name of local hospitals.  Most hospitals have web pages and on the page it describes the medical personnel employed at the hospital and the services that particular hospital offers.  To find a pediatric cardiologist you can either look up cardiologists and see if any specialize in pediatrics or do it the other way around and look up pediatricians and see if any specialize in cardiology.
    Also, the yellow pages of your local phone book is a good resource.  Look for hospitals and make some phone calls.  Researchers are also a good option.  Calls to research clinics are the way to start if this is the route you want to go.
    Spending the day with a pediatric cardiologist is a truly tiring prospect.  Just the life of a physician is spending never mind that of a specialist.  If the clinical aspect of the job is what interests you then you should be in store for appointments and consultations all day with minimal, if any, personal time.  The first years out of medical school are exhausting but after you are an established physician the hours are little more flexible and the paycheck rises as you become more experienced.  It is worthwhile though and very rewarding.
