Does school actually called the dentist who you shadowed with?

Many schools require applicants to fill in hours of shadowing. But does school actually called the dentist who you shadowed with to confirm this information?
 
So...you plan on lying on your application?

They probably won't call...but wow would that be embarassing if they did...I guess you would never find out if they called though
 
The endo I shadowed said he had a random student ask to shadow him and never showed up, and half a year later returned to ask for a letter of recommendation.
 
Its a gamble, isn't it... I guess you gotta ask yourself,

Do ya feel lucky?
 
At some point UF asks you to have the dentist you shadowed to fill out a form (or something of that nature) I can't recall the specifics.
