A few years ago I was planning on being pre-med, and I worked in a medical clinic and shadowed doctors for about a year. Became disinterested later on as I learned more and more about the career etc. Worked as a pharm tech, gained experience in pharmacy and absolutely loved the field. Fast forward to now and I'm applying to pharmacy school. My question is, in the experiences section, should I put activities like shadowing doctors/working in a doctor's clinic? I don't want them to get any ideas and think I put med school before pharmacy (not true) or anything like that. But at the same time....healthcare/patient care experience is still healthcare/patient care experience. Thoughts and suggestions? Thanks

Yes absolutely that's why they have a section for it. Plus I think it will help you make a better argument for why you feel pharmacy is the right fit for you as opposed to other healthcare fields
