Would shadowing a podiatrist be considered useful or worthwhile for applying to medical school?
 
If you have time, go ahead and shadow the podiatrist, but it won't really help with the LOR requirement. I would say drop the podiatrist and try to get a DO or even a MD to shadow.

Good luck.
 
What they said.

Even if you don't live in an area with any DO's, there will be MD's you can shadow.
 
I shadow a Podiatrist and a DO. I am planning to send both LOR to schools is this good or bad?? 😎
 
WHY ARE YOU STARTING THIS THREAD EVERYWHERE...PRE-ALLO, PRE-OSTEO, and RE-APP.

Would a mod please close some of these??
