if you have tons of shadowing (300+ hours)? Realistically i'll end up with around 50-150 by the time I graduate. I just can't imagine shadowing for as long as some people do, there must be something better they can do with their time.
I understand its all part of the clinical experience package but I feel like after 20-30ish hours you'd develop a decent understanding of what a specialty does.
I disagree completely. Why do you think residency progams are 3+ years of 10,000 hours of training at minimum.
You have no idea what a specialty does until you're doing it.
That being said... you don't need a gajillion hours of shadowing 100 is MORE than enough.
I had zero "direct" shadowing when I applied, but I had a fair amount of indirect shadowing. I often thought that it would be an issue, but it never came up during interviews or anything.if you have tons of shadowing (300+ hours)?

this thread title is hilariously ominous...
will it actually help?
