I've shadowed the same doctor (pain management) for 25 hours so far and I'm wondering if this is long enough. I feel like I've seen all his job has to offer over these 25 hours. So if this is not long enough, what is?

Do you have the option of shadowing another specialty to gain a broader experience?

Thats what I am wanting to do, just read on a couple of posts of people shadowing the same doctor for 50 or so hours.

If you've gotten what you wanted with 25 hours with one doc, it's fine to move on. But I would encourage another 15-25 hours, at least, including a primary care provider ( peds, internal med, family med, OBGYN, psych) who provides longitudinal care
