Should I include shadowing activities from other fields?

In addition to shadowing two podiatrists, I also shadowed at a large pediatric dental clinic. It was during a period where I wasn't sure what field to pursue, but now that I've made my decision, I'm wondering if I should include shadowing experiences other than podiatry. I learned a ton shadowing several fields and would like to include these experiences. Thanks!

I would for sure! I included shadowing with MDs and DOs in my application and got into all the schools I interviewed at. It shows that you have seen different specialties but still want to go into podiatry which is good.

Agreed with the above. Add all your clinical and non-clinical experiences. Then add how your Podiatry experiences led to you in this field and your thought process of applying.
