Hi! I'm a rising high school senior who was hoping to apply to a couple BS/MD programs this fall. I have experience volunteering in a medical setting but never got the chance to shadow healthcare professionals to show my exposure to that kind of environment (as I know these programs like you to demonstrate experience).
I've seen online some places that have "virtual shadowing" of medical professionals, and I was wondering if that is something that could possibly supplement the lack of shadowing in my application? If not, do you have any suggestions as to how I could make up for it otherwise?
Virtual shadowing is certainly worth it. Though in-person shadowing is preferred, virtual shadowing will likewise demonstrate your spike in medicine. Hope this helps!
