Hey guys, So I applied to a Medical Preceptorship and was accepted. Pretty much I get to shadow different fields of pediatrics (surgery etc...) at County Los Angeles hospital. This program lasts 5 days May 14-May 18 and I'm pretty sure they are probably 8 hour days. The only problem is that I'm taking my MCAT on May 31st and feel 5 8 hour days + all the time I need to spend on orientation, getting TB tests, going to get my measles verification, etc... takes away from valuable mcat time.
I already have about 25-30 hours shadowing a Internal Medicine doctor and was planning on getting another 20-25 or so by the time I apply (most of it being after my MCAT).
Do you guys think it would be better to do this program or be con tent with 40-55 hours of shadowing a internal medicine doctor.
Thanks!
