I am shadowing a podiatrist at the moment but have only been doing so for the past few weeks. I plan on getting my DPM letter of rec from this guy but I was previously doing physician shadowing as osteopathic medicine was my original goal. Can I list this shadowing experience for my extracurriculars on AACPMAS? Or should I leave it out?

Thanks!

I put it on there. It involved interacting with a patient plus the more variety you shadow the better. I think it shows that you are a mature decision maker by researching other potential fields.

Edit
Oops, I misread your post. Thought you were asking about putting the podiatrist shadowing on AACOMAS

Thanks for the input. Nope, referring to AACPMAS.

You can put that in your experience, it shows that you've looked at several options and have made a well-thought decision to pursue the podiatry field. good luck!
