Shadowing

So I'm offered an opportunity to shadow in an OR. Should I take it or leave it? How good does that look on my resume? How many hours should I get and could I get a letter of rec from it?

Thanks

Take it. Just make sure you are well rested, hydrated and eat a hearty meal on the day(s) you are shadowing. It might seem easy to just stand and watch, but after 2+ hours of standing any deficiency in sleep, fluids or blood sugar may start to detract from your experience.

Primary care shadowing is worth more to us.
The OR is fun but there is no value in a shadowing letter.
