AMCAS Shadowing Question

Is it expected that you will list the specialties of the physicans you have shadowed? I have approx 100 hrs shadowing but they are all subspecialty doctors. Is it ok to just list them without specifying what kind of doctor they are?

Also, does one list contact info for each doctor in the comments section in addition to putting one contact in the main contact field?

Thanks for the help!

1) Is it expected that you will list the specialties of the physicans you have shadowed? I have approx 100 hrs shadowing but they are all subspecialty doctors. Is it ok to just list them without specifying what kind of doctor they are?

2) Also, does one list contact info for each doctor in the comments section in addition to putting one contact in the main contact field?

1) It is usual and customary to be specific. If you don't recall all of them, you can be vague for some, like, "I shadowed multiple subspecialists, like a radiologist, dermatologist, thoracic surgeon, and 3 others.
2) If all the shadowing was done through a program, you can use the coordinator for your contact for all of them. If they are all in different locations, then use the header information for the most recent or the most substantive experience and include as much contact information as possible for the others in the narrative.
