Welcome to TMS Shadows! Our committee strives to provide you with direct exposure to various branches of the vast field of medicine, primarily through medical shadowing and guest speakers. Shadowing medical professionals is an extremely beneficial opportunity to learn about the variety of medical careers and opportunities that await interested students, so we will be arranging opportunities to shadow doctors throughout the school year. Furthermore, we will be hosting guest speakers to discuss their professions and their experiences with the medical field. We look forward to working with you!
