You need to be assured that your scribing can be a proxy for shadowing. I wouldn't think that would be a problem, but some other adcom member might.I have almost 1000 hours of scribing, which involved going into every patient room and sitting at the same workstation as a physician for 10 hours a day, 3-4 times a week. Wouldn't it be redundant to add shadowing to that?
As for the community service, I would hope that working with the public library's adult literacy program "counts." I really do like working with this program, as it allows me to directly help my fellow first-gen immigrants.
I really don't like the idea of picking up a different activity just to check a box.
Regarding my PS and secondaries, over 15 people from various fields (medicine, finance, tech, design, PoliSci, etc) looked over it last cycle. I doubt that is my problem, either.
Looking at what I see from SDN, my biggest obstacle seems to be the fact that I'm from California.
Yeah, the hours would've been closer to 100-150, but COVID shut down the public library system in my area.
lowkey pretty disappointed about it, because my learner was making some damn good progress
