@WayOutWestMom , Thank you for those great ideas on clinical volunteering and shadowing!! As always, I appreciate your advice. D asked local doctors for job shadowing and she was rejected too. Even the Ped practice she has been going for the last 19 years!

@texaspg , for DH and I, even with money, we cannot compete with other parents who know how to advise their kids (when and how to start activities, from HS on) and parents connections. We are not in the field. I literally kept walking around in our neighborhood until I saw our new neighbor walking his dog and asked if D can shadow with him within the general neighborly conversation. Lol. Even D thinks I am crazy, but I am trying to levering the playing field!

CC and especially premed forum have been awesome help!!! Got some good news and bad news today! One Dad whose kids swam with D in HS will see what he can do about D shadowing him! Another office called and said no.
