Hi guys, I shadowed a physician earlier in my undergrad when I considered medicine. Should I add these hours to my experiences? Why? Thanks in advance!

I shadowed physicians and PAs early on in undergrad when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I mention that I explored various careers in healthcare in my personal statement, but I'm not listing the hours in my application. Unless it was hospital volunteering, I don't see why you would list shadowing a physician

Agree. Would not put it unless it has an association with dentistry.

I had hundreds of hours shadowing a physician and did not include it. I did include my ER volunteering though.

Thanks guys. I figured i'd remove it as well due to limited relevance to dentistry.
