If you did post all your shadowing all in one entry who's contact info and the dates of shadowing did you give? How about the other doctor's contact info and dates of shadowing?
 
nope, didn't have any, and was never asked about it. My gut feeling is (for most schools) it's less valuable than you think, but if I could do it again I would've at least done a bit of shadowing to check that box off.
 
Why WOULDN'T you put it on your app if you have it? That kinda doesn't make sense...unless you just had so many other awesome ECs that you didn't have room for it...

From SDN I found some threads in which people did state that they did not post their shadowing, which I found really weird. Also, I saw that the AMCAS application did not have a select down menu for shadowing in the "work/activities" so I was confused if it is normally put on the AMCAS application or written down on PS or talked about in the interview or such.
