Hi everyone,
I have a question about updating my information with the schools that I'm applying. Before I submitted my primary application with AACOM, I didn't have any shadowing experiences with DO, so I didn't write anything on the primary. But now I have two DO's who are willing to have me to shadow them, but I don't know if they will write me letter of rec (I have a letter of rec from a MD), so how do I update this shadowing experience with the schools? calling them? sending them e-mail or letter? or mention somewhere on the secondary? But I'm afriad some schools will send scondary only if you have shadowing a DO. Thanks!!
