If someone were shadowing a surgeon and only observed while the patient was anesthetized would this still count as clinical exposure?

It is absolutely clinical exposure. A Great thing to put down under shadowing. But make sure there's also some clinical volunteer work or shadowing that involves a lot of patient interaction. Combined, they're a 1-2 punch that shows you learned a lot about medicine as well as your comfort talking and interacting with patients.

Absolutely.

I've had about 20 hours of OR time with a surgeon. It was actually much more fun than I was originally expecting it to be!

Seriously? Of course it is. Try telling a surgeon that their time in the OR isn't related to patient care (clinical exposure) and see what they say.

That's all you could do when shadowing a surgeon.
