Shadowing in Canada: Necessary?


Recommended Posts

Hi there! 

I know shadowing is a really common thing to do in the States, but I was wondering if it’s important for Canadians applying in Canada? I know it’s pretty much banned in BC, so I would hope that they don’t expect applicants to go against the rules to get shadowing. Any insight on this? 

 

Thanks!

It's not necessary at all. Would suggest you to do it for YOUR sake to see if you would like to do that kind of work in your future, but for the sake of your CV, it's definitely not expected. 

Thanks! I have other experience in clinical settings but no shadowing experience. I’m in a lot of forums based in the USA and applicants are always scrambling for shadowing hours (which is surprising considering you’re not actually allowed to do anything except watch). I definitely think there’s more valuable clinical experiences than shadowing
