Proof of Shadowing?

Do you think it's necessary to present some form of written proof that I have shadowed an optometrist? How exactly do schools check this? Specifically, do SUNY, NECO, and PCO have some type of form or requirement I should be aware of?

Thanks!

No. Honor system. You will be asked about your experiences during your interviews though.

There are no forms to fill out. However, applicants usually get a letter of recommendation from an optometrist that they have a connection with (shadowed for a good amount of time), so I guess that can be an indirect way of proof.
