Shadowing

Hey guys,

I plan to start shadowing optometrists next semester, and I just wanted some advice on what I should do and what questions I should ask while I'm shadowing. I'm a first year undergrad, so I'm still a a little bit unfamiliar with how everything works. How should I approach an optometrist when I'm asking to shadow him/her, and how long do people usually shadow for each optometrist? Starting to shadow my first year isn't too early, is it? Any personal experiences would be helpful. Thanks in advance! 🙂

Hey WhiteOrchid,
I wrote a short snippet on shadowing in my website here:

Hope this helps!
