Program Logistics
Our NU-CAP (2024-2025) clinical shadowing program will be hosted by preceptors at Northwestern Medicine primarily in Evanston and at other NM sites. Admitted students will be paired with NM preceptors based upon those physicians' availability. The program will run one morning a week over a six week period over Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters.

Location and Transportation
The Evanston site and Maple Avenue site are within 10 -15 minutes walking distance from the Evanston campus. Students will make their own way to the assigned Evanston site.
Should additional opportunities arise at the Glenview Outpatient Clinic, participants will be provided with a $250 travel stipend to help offset their travel cost. Depending on traffic, the journey may take between 30-50 minutes each way. All students, regardless of site location, should plan to arrive at their respective clinical sites at least 15 minutes prior to their start time.
