Shadowing Opportunities
If you are a first or second year UNC medical student and interested in shadowing an Orthopaedic physician in the OR or clinic, please email the educational support specialist Jennifer Griffin (jennifer_griffin@med.unc.edu) to request a time and get departmental approval.

- Felicia Eagle [Felicia.Eagle@unchealth.unc.edu] – educator coordinator to be trained on sterile technique
- Paul Vonhofen [Paul.Vonhofen@unchealth.unc.edu] – OR orthopaedic manager to make him aware when you’re coming
