Just curious if/where these should go in the primary application?

1. D.O. shadowing experience

2. Non-paid research

Thanks for your advice!
 
I put them in the EC section. These sure are a pain to enter. All of us have things like shadowing, research, publications...I mean, geez. Why can't they create a catagory for them like AMCAS does??!?

How did you fill out the info for shadowing in the EC section? I mean, for name of organization? Just the doctor's name? Did you list each shadowing experience separately? I put them all together for the MD app, but I don't know if I'll have room on the DO app to combine them.

I just now filled it out...I put the name of the hospital and the doctor's name in the organization part and for position title I put "D.O. shadowing experience."

I only shadowed one of the doctors at a hospital, the others were in their private offices. Do you think I should just put their name for organization?
 
I'm sure the name would suffice. They can't really complain unless they provide you w/instructions on this part. You'll be fine.
