A whole bunch of people have been telling me that I need to shadow doctors.

I haven't really thought about doing this b/c i thought my experience as an EMT and volunteering at hospitals (just Pt contact and barely get to observe what physicians do) would suffice.

I don't really know how to get myself involved in this because I don't know a single physician (I used to but i havent seen him since i started going to college). My parents don't live in the states and they had hardly been doctors...

My friends tell me to look up physicians in my university's directory and email them... Do you guys have any other suggestions?
