AMCAS experience question

How should I describe my preceptorships on the AMCAS experience section? I've shadowed a few times and am planning on doing more next month (I'm a teacher and will have more time then) but my AMCAS app will already be sent off then. Can I include something about preceptorships that I haven't done yet? Do I lump all of these under one experience category?

If you will have done it before the interviews AND you think it will be significant, write it down. I don't know how you should list it, it really depends on how similar/related the experiences are

Hmm, two different opinions. Not sure what to do.

I asked a similar question to my premed review board and they said that only if I will "reallu" be doing it. If for some reason the shadowing gets cancelled then it is a problem Otherwise it's ok. You can lump everything under one.
Say in the future you shall be doing so and so.
I have said the something like that for some other activities as well ie. student organizations I am a part of and the leadership role that I will take on next semester
