Hi everyone, I live in Vancouver, BC. I'm currently a medical school applicant and am in the process of seeking out opportunities for shadowing a DO physician. Unlike US, Canadian premeds aren't allowed to shadow doctors. So, I decided to either go to Seattle or Bellingham to shadow a Doctor of Osteopathic medicine for 2-3 days. Being in Vancouver, it's very hard to contact doctors or send a shadowing email request as I can't even find their email addresses. Tomorrow, I will contact Washington Osteopathic Medical Association to see if they could provide me with some information but for now I was wondering if you guys here would know doctors who would be willing to allow me observe their work. Thank you!

Try contacting Skagit Regional Health in Mount Vernon since they have a residency program that is sponsored by a DO school (PNWU). Perhaps speak with their graduate medical education department. Best of luck to you.
