I currently have shadowed 3 doctors (2 within this last week that i will continue to shadow) and i have 10 activities (of which one of them is the first doctor i shadowed) since i have extra room for activities should i list all 3 doctors as seperate events?
The first doctor was an MD in psychiatry and the later 2 were DO family practitioners.

Should I sepearate the md from the DOs if Im applying to DO as well? How should i list hours?

Thanks
 
I guess it depends on what you did with your physician. Were you following him/her around (answer his/her questions, learning about a procedure or two, talking with patients) or where you helping with patients, filing of paper work, etc. (like you are volunteering). If it is more of the former, I suggest putting those physicians into one category and listing 1) contact info, 2) where you shadowed, 3) hours shadowed, 4) what you learned in a few sentences. Just indicated after their name whether they were MD or DO. If it is the latter part of the second sentence, then put it as a separate activity. This would mean you were doing significant activities with them and have shadowed for hundreds of hours. Well, any more questions just reply and I will be happy to answer them.
