<p>For experience shadowing a doctor - does it matter if that doctor is your parent? or should you find someone else?</p>
<p>any takers? or was this posted anywhere else before?</p>
<p>it shouldn’t matter. i don’t think you have to ever tell anyone who you shadowed, so go for it.</p>
<p>You should do it. But you also need to find somebody else. Fortunately, your parent should be able to set that up quite easily.</p>
<p>Shadowing a parent MD can be rewarding, but it is essential to get a broader perspective.</p>
