I learned a lot about healthcare and the medical decision making process.
What I wish was different
I wish there was more time to interact with the clinicians about why they make their decisions (very difficult in today's medical culture).
Advice
Don't be afraid to ask the clinicians questions!!

What I liked
I got to work directly with doctors at the hospital and help them document what they did with patients. I was also able to view diagnostic tests and see the science behind medicine.
What I wish was different
I wish I was able to visit more patients with the doctors when they were doing their rounds or admitting new patients. My job for the most part was sitting at a desk. It wasn't impossible to see patients, but certain things in the job took priority and needed to be completed first.
Advice
If you are interested in pursuing medicine, this is a great experience to shadow a physician while working at a hospital to gain more experience in the healthcare field.
