Clinical Experience with DO, applying to MD schools

[Jsor20]

Hello everyone, over the last two years I have about 200 clinical hours shadowing a family physician DO. I want to apply to all MD schools and was wondering if this activity is good clinical experience to put on my application or not. Thank you all for the help!

Yes. A doctor is a doctor. I shadowed a DO neurosurgeon and I didn't even put his degree down. I said "Dr. ---, neurosurgeon."

Yes I shadowed 2 DOs as well and received MD interviews so include it on your AMCAS.
