shadowing hours confirmation

[mudiwa]

i was wondering if the schools confirm with the optometrist as to the number of hours you have shadowed? i shadowed one optometrist more than a year ago and i am not sure of the exact number of hours and i did not want to put down aomething that is way off so i was wondering if they check.

I would highly doubt this to be true. If I was a betting man I say 99% of the time they never do. BUT, I think as you enter into a profession, that's its an honor application you submit. I wouldn't want to sleep with false information that I submitted. And it asks what kind of ethics you have, If you're willing to cheat on your shadowing, you're probably someone that will chat other aspects of patient care.

I'm not saying you would do any of these things, but any applicant in general.
