What to do when you go about answering a question about "shadowing experience with a DO" when you haven't done that? I know that many DO schools prefer the student shadow a DO but it's hard to find in my area. I have shadowed many MDs though.
 
I don't mean to be policing you but you don't need to create a thread for this type of question.
1. Try using google to find some DOs in your area
2. Call/email them if they are ok with you shadowing them
3. Haven't found a DO to shadow yet? Try #1 and 2 again until you find one
4. Use the search bar for similar questions
