I visited India one summer in college to visit my family, and a distant relative is actually a pediatric doctor. Since I was there for a month and a half, i thought i'd do something productive with my time and shadow him. I know its not US healthcare, but it was still very cool and interesting to see how he handles his patients. Since I was technically on vacation for a month and a half that summer, i shadowed him almost every day.
My question is, is international shadowing looked down upon? Concepts like "volunteering" are kind of hard to find in India, so shadowing was the best I could do. I had about 35-40 hours from this, can I still count it as shadowing on my apps? Is this viewed any differently?
