Description: UNIV 330 is designed for currently enrolled undergraduate students to gain exposure to the medical setting and develop professional skills, while earning course credit. The purpose is to allow students to explore careers in the health professions through exposure to medical shadowing and the healthcare industry in the operating room, intensive care unit or other clinical unit at Houston Methodist Hospital. Students will be required to reflect upon shadowing experience while understanding how professionals apply their medical knowledge, interpersonal communication skills, and leadership to provide appropriate patient-centered care. Please note, matching with physicians will not occur until students begin matriculating in UNIV 330. The physician selection process will be explained during class.
