Nearly all MD schools do not want MD or DO LORsI work at a optho clinic that has a lot of doctors. I've done maybe 20 hours of shadowing in my 1000hours that I've worked here so far. This 20 hours comprises at least 4 doctors, I'm not sure if I can estimate how many hours they each contribute. I know one doctor for sure contributes the bulk of the hours given how often I watch him interact with patients. This shadowing is during covid times, so it's mostly me watching from the hallway while they see their patients. I do this on a daily basis over the course of my time here, and I estimate that it's been about 20 hours.
So can I just lump those shadowing in my section as:
(Name of clinic - multiple doctors - total hours) and then list the doctors.
Or do I have to do this:
Name of clinic - multiple doctors - total hours:
doctor name,contact - hours
- My concern is, I'm getting letters from some of these doctors, because I've worked with them alot, and the minimal "shadowing" hours that I would attribute to them might minimize the extent to which med schools perceive how well these doctors know me.
Finally:
Including shadowing I have a total of 7 experiences to list(5 solid experiences, 1 hobby, and then 1awards(deans/chancellors list)): Should I separate the shadowing of the psychiatrist i did, from the shadowing of these ophthalmologists. Or just combine them both into one section?
DO schools will.
