So this summer I have already garnered a total of around 50 hours of shadowing with Nephrologists (around 40 hours) and Family Medicine (10 hours). I guess I was being a bit gung-ho. I plan on shadowing a DO Cardiologist and a DO Family Medicine Physician sometime soon as well, due to my intentions of applying mostly DO. Would it be bad to scale back shadowing hours from now on so I can get some more Clinical Hours and Nonclinical Volunteering Hours? How would a lot of shadowing hours in one summer look to an adcom with less hours over the following summers?

Thanks!
