I'm shadowing a DO next week.... what should i know before i meet him?

The cliche questions "Why do you want to be a doctor?...Osteopathic Physician?"

I found on my first day of shadowing I didnt talk to the doctor that much. I just tagged along and introduced myself to the patients. Pretty much kept my mouth shut the rest of the time. After a few visits I was able to do BP checks, ask questions to patients, and pretty much do a history before the doc came into the room.

Hopefully your doc will be pretty laid back. 👍

Fun times.

shirt and tie...you can always take the tie off if the doctor prefers

I would Google the doctor and learn all you can about him or her. It's a good coversation starter to be able to say like, "I hear that you went to X school, how was that?" etc.
