1. Calling doesn't work. Show up at the office.

2. Consider volunteering at a hospital that has DO's (especially in the ER) --> this worked for me.

3. Ask people who may already know DO's (friends, family, church members, etc.)
 
Try a clinic associated with an osteopathic school in your state. I had a hard time finding a physician to allow me to shadow them, especially due to the new hippa laws. I called all over, I never thought to call the med schools I was applying to. There is a family practice clinic and an omm clinic that has docs who teach at msu, they love to have premeds shadow them. I would hope that the same as true at other schools.
Good Luck!
