They will rotate through several doctors for exposure to different ideas and personalities in our field.

We are well staffed, with every doctor typically having 2 technicians when seeing appointments and 3-4 technicians when in surgery/dentistry. We have all the typical equipment for a large hospital. We also work with mobile internal medicine and surgery specialists. 

Student Responsibilities - what is expected of students in terms of hours, days of the week, shadowing or actual support?

Expected days of the week would be 4-5 weekdays, totaling ~40 hours, and rotating through case management with all/most of our doctors. They can arrive at 8:00am and leave anytime between 5-6pm. They can provide both actual support with cases (coming up with problem lists, rule outs, doing their own physical exams) as well as shadowing.
