Hi All,
From a lot of the reading and advice I have seen on this forum and other articles, it is apparent how important shadowing a D.O. will look on your application. As a former medical scribe who worked in an urgent care setting, I had the opportunity to assist with many different MD's, DO's, and PA's. I was able to clearly see the differences in approach, to the physical examination, diagnosis, and treatment. I worked several thousand hours as a medical scribe at this urgent care. Several Q's below:
Would this experience be seen as inferior to a direct shadow of a D.O.?
How would you recommend I best present this on my application? (if I were to use this experience going into this application cycle...I definitely had many hours alongside D.O.'s)
Thank you so much!
