I am a soon to be D.O. graduate. I attempted to match into another competitive specialty and was unsuccessful (no advance or intern year). After shadowing a PM&R doctor in my hometown, I've decided to pursue PM&R as I actually enjoy this more than the other specialty. However, I haven't had any clinical rotations in PM&R, just the shadowing experience. I am trying to get more clinical experience and hopefully a few LOR. I've attempted to reach out to programs about potentially doing a rotation, but I have had no luck since I will be a graduate. I've reached out to the doctor I shadowed and he said it would be hard to write a LOR since he can't speak to clinical acumen (the shadowing was 100% observation). Does anyone have advice on how I could get more clinical experience and possibly obtain a LOR? I appreciate any help!
