Hi everyone, so recently I was able to shadow a pediatrician who was kind enough to allow me to fill out the patients (they were children) developmental milestone chart. She would ask the patients parent's first if that was okay and then hand me the chart. So I would ask the parents questions like "Can ___ draw circles?" and if yes, put a check. Of course I was able to do so with the patients permission and the pediatrician was right there. My question is, is this okay to write about on AMCAS under shadowing? Are there like legal issues dealing with like privacy, signing documents, and such that might be a problem if I mentioned this? I know that to the parents it was totally fine and normal, but I am just concerned that since as a "shadow" we are there to just observe, I wasn't sure if that was looked down upon/not allowed.
