Hey guys, this may belong in the school specific discussions, but it may generate more responses here. So for the Western app. there is a place on the secondary that asks about shadowing experience. I have experience shadowing an MD. I just spoke with a DO who put me on the schedule for shadowing throughout the year.
Now, should I jump the gun and put his info in there or not? Technically I have not shadowed him specifically, but I am starting this weekend.

Thoughts?
 
Now that I think about it more, should I leave it blank and then send them an update once I have established shadowing with him?

I think that is a good idea. What if it falls through for some reason? Then you would be stuck explaining why you listed someone you never actually shadowed.
