Recording shadowing time

Hi, I am new to this forum and I was wondering how one goes about recording the amount of time shadowed? I have only shadowed a maxillofacial surgeon in a private practice so far; however, I am hoping to begin shadowing physicians in-hospital soon and I would like my application to reflect the hours I put in.

You don't. Just estimate it to the best of your ability. The schools won't check anyway, they trust you.

You can record it on a piece of paper, or Word document, or whatever.

You will eventually need to know:
Time period for the shadowing of each physician (month is fine)
Total # of hours for that physician
Contact info (phone # or email) for someone who can vouch for you, in this case the office number will suffice

There is no further verification required

Oh, and here's an example of how you could potentially list shadowing when you are filling out your application (#10) http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?p=12260932&postcount=2

So as long as you have the info shown in that example, you should be good
