Hey guys, I was wondering if there's any set way to find a doctor to shadow (website or something) because I'm thinking of just spamming a bunch of doctors in my area atm.

Also, for pre-med requirements, is it frowned upon to take classes at a community college? Say Orgo or Physics?

Same question as before but what if I took it in a different country while I was studying abroad? (It wouldn't factor into my GPA, but I'm assuming Med Schools would put it in)

THANKS!

I got most of my shadowing opportunities by calling, emailing etc. alot of doctors in my area expressing my interest and got several OK's.

Look up the colleges that you are interested in and see if they take CC credit, but alot of colleges accept them and it's usually not a big deal. Bang out a good score on the MCAT to show you learned from the course.

Not sure about the last question.
