I'll be shadowing my family practice physician for four days next week. It is my understanding that some osteopathic medical schools require a letter of recommendation for admission. I know this person well. What are some good questions that I should be asking when I shadow? I'm interesting in pursuing primary care as a career; he already knows that. What should I refrain from asking? Also, what is the proper etiquette when asking a physician for a letter of rec? Should I be asking for a letter of rec after only four days (about 24 hours) of shadowing? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
