Hello all,

I have completed a couple of shadowing experiences in geriatrics and paediatrics but would very much like to shadow nurses or consultants at a psychiatric ward, as psychiatry is one of the specialities I am strongly considering post-med school.

It has been hard to obtain experience thus far because of the risk factors inherent in these wards, but can anyone direct me to a centre that would be open to a mature student shadowing?

I would be much obliged.

Regards
DS.
