I worked as a CNA in college and a lot of the doctors were super friendly and allowed me to come in and observe them when they were following up with patients. I was on the post-op floor so I didn't get to see new diagnoses and such, but mostly the aftermath and continued care. It was never anything official and, honestly, if I called them up and told them my name I highly doubt they would remember me. Should I add this as shadowing or would it look like I'm reaching? It was a full-time job I had for 6 months and I went in rooms with at least one doc each shift.

Ask the people who you informally shadowed if it would be okay to add their name or contact to your app. If they say yes and im sure all would then def add it to your application.
