Hello everyone, I'm feeling a little lost in the process of getting shadowing hours. I'm a non-trad from a military/engineering background with no connections to doctors. I've tried cold calling around local hospitals and clinics here in the LA area to see if I could shadow, but i've had no luck. I even tried my local VA but they do not allow shadowing. Just wondering how everyone else was able to secure their shadowing hours? I'm planning on applying to MD and DO schools, so I believe I have to shadow both.
