Is it ok to shadow a resident? Does this still count as getting shadowing experience?
Yes, but you are less likely to gain perspectives important to the interview process on malpractice, insurance, billing, patient advocacy, the difficult patient, medical ethics, the Affordable Care Act, etc.Is it ok to shadow a resident? Does this still count as getting shadowing experience?

How so? If anything you get a better view of medicine by shadowing residents instead of attendings.Seems to be fine, I spent more time shadowing residents than attendings. Maybe not the best idea to shadow residents exclusively, but it's still great experience, especially if it's an older resident.
Seriously?!!? Probably bc it can't be verified?depends on the school. i know of at least one school that explicitly states that shadowing of residents or fellows will not be considered as competition of their shadowing requirement.
