Hello everybody,
So I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to find a physician to allow me to shadow. I have been to countless medical offices where I have dropped off my resume and cover letter while explaining my intentions to the manager of each office. Either I get denied immediately, or I never hear back from the medical office.
So this is the problem: I got waitlisted at a medical school that told me that I interviewed well and everything about my application looked great, with the exception that I have no shadowing hours. I was told that if I could get some shadowing hours, I would greatly increase my chances of moving off the waitlist.
If anyone knows of any physicians that are receptive to shadowing in California, or specifically in the Sacramento area, I would be most thankful. I would hate for this to be the thing that would keep me out of medical school.
Thank you in advance for all of your help.
