DISCLAIMER
Although we at ShellCast are striving to provide an experience that is as close to In-person shadowing as possible, we cannot guarantee that all medical schools will accept this as a valid form of shadowing. For this reason, we recommend that you list ShellCast as “Other” or “Extra” in your application. It is also important that you list ShellCast as the primary contact for this, not our guest physicians.
A large portion of in-person shadowing that medical schools value is the exposure to physician-patient interactions. Due to the virtual setting of our program we cannot provide these same interactions; however, we are providing valuable insight to the life of physicians and different specialties. Although many medical schools might not accept ShellCast as traditional shadowing, it shows tremendous initiative and consistent effort despite the circumstances.
We encourage our audience to seek out as much in-person shadowing as possible.
