Can chaperoning be considered shadowing?

Hello everyone! I’ve been working at my current job as an MA for a couple years now. One of the main things I do at my job besides rooming patients is chaperoning the physicians. They’re all male plastic surgeons and since most patients are females, they always have me step in to chaperone (since I’m female). I’ve been in there during exams and when they’re talking about plans for surgery, etc. Could I put this down as shadowing since I just follow and overlook the physician around in the room or would I just put this under the section for my job? Thanks!

Sounds like shadowing to me

You can count it as either, depending on what would round out your application best. Just don't double count the hours.
