My apologies if these questions have already been answered.
-How many hours of shadowing does one really need? Is a day enough?
-I read on the forum that having one strong LOR is more important than having few general ones. Does the LOR written by the Doctor one shadowed, really has value(what can one possibly know about the abilities of another person in a day?!)
-Can shadowing be a 'learning experience' in reality? One is not allowed to talk or touch patients. What can be gained from this experience?
Can someone throw some light on this topic?
BTW, this is the pre-medical shadowing I am talking about; that a few schools recommend having alongwith volunteer work.
TIA.
