Shadowing hours enough?

General Premed Discussion

Hello,

I currently have 32 in-person shadowing hours and 10 virtual shadowing hours. I want to focus on other things such as scribing and being a medical assistant for the experience. Are these enough shadowing hours, especially if the in-person one was meaningful to me and I learned a lot from it?

Thank you!!

Personally, I do think that those hours are sufficient for shadowing. You can only do/learn much from shadowing and 32-42 hours is a good bit. Like you said, better to focus now on clinical experience (like MA or scribing) that is a little bit more active.
