🌈 Student Shadow Spotlight: Meet Ingrid! ✨
Ingrid is a first-year pre-med student who recently spent the day shadowing Dr. Mazzola — and her experience was nothing short of extraordinary. In just one day, she observed patient care in clinic, toured the NICU and PICU, and even witnessed a full neurosurgical procedure: an Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy… as a freshman in college!
Dr. Mazzola took the time to explain each patient’s condition, next steps, and treatment reasoning, giving Ingrid a true look into the world of pediatric neurosurgery. Experiences like this can be career-shaping, and we are proud to support the next generation of future clinicians.
If you’re an undergraduate or pre-med student interested in shadowing one of our providers, we welcome you to reach out.
Email your resume and the specialty/NJPNI location you’re interested in to: info@njpni.com, and our clinical manager, Dawn Milligan, will help determine availability.
Please note: one shadow opportunity is allowed per student, and placement depends on provider schedules.
We love seeing young minds inspired, and we’re honored to play a small part in their journey into medicine. 💙👩⚕️👨⚕️
