Abstract:
Shadowing is a teaching method that involves accompanying people in their daily activities without disturbing them. During their final year externship in a family doctor's practice, medical students from the University of Lausanne meet a patient at home and observe other professionals, thus enriching their understanding of collaborative practice. To illustrate this method described in the article «Shadowing as a pedagogical method for teaching interprofessional collaboration»a recently published in this journal, this article presents the experience of a trainee doctor who shadowed a patient and her care network during her externship in family medicine.
