Hi -
I know that 'shadowing' is a really broad term and am wondering if there is a difference between having experience vs shadowing. PTCAS uses 'observation hours' so does this mean that I would not be doing anything hands on and just observing the PT throughout the day (and therefore shadowing)?
Is there an advantage for having hands on experience (volunteering or paid) or will having a PT sign/verify hours that you were simply there be sufficient? Is this requirement different between schools?
