Okay, here is my dilemma. I am currently doing a full time post bacc and already have a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology. I worked at a hospital for 2 years as a Clinical Exercise Physiology under many doctors and have tons of experience with one-on-one patient care and treatment. I was still thinking about shadowing this semester, but I was thinking about shadowing a DO. I may go the DO route and feel that I will have covered my bases if I shadow a DO now.
My question is, should I shadow at all? I have hospital experience and can get an excellent letter of recommendation from my prior director, while he is not an MD, he does possess a PhD in Applied Physiology and Anatomy and is a professor. I also have research experience and will have my name on a couple of papers that will be coming out in the next few years.
I guess to sum things up, with all of my hospital experience and research background, should I shadow???And if so, should I shadow an MD or a DO? I cannot do both, I dont think i will have the time to do that.
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.
