So I know there are a ton of threads about shadowing but this one is rather specific.. I emailed a doctor about shadowing, and in the email I basically told him I'm a third year premed student at college X and I'm very interested in his field of medicine. Well, a few weeks later I get an email from someone at his office asking for my CV and a 'letter of intent'. This is what confused me, can anybody tell me what he means by a letter of intent?? Does he mean a letter of intent to shadow him or what?? What exactly should I say? Something like: Hi My name is blah im interested in blah and i would like to shadow you? Thanks for any help
