This is my first post here on SDN but I have looked and search on here for similar questions as mine. I got some answers from them but I have multiple questions geared towards my own situation. I'm a year one pre-med and was wondering if it's too early for me to shadow? If I happened to shadow now and ask for a letter of recommendation at the end of it would that be too soon? I'm planning on shadowing at least one or two doctors if possible for a few weeks; months if allowed this year is why I ask. I still have a while before I start applying to med schools so would having an old letter be pointless? How do you save your letters of recommendations and when is the best time to start asking for them? Would trying to shadow a physician multiple times through the years help build a better relationship with them; therefore giving me a more recent LOR in a few years verses this year? Thanks in advance for any advice given to me I just have a lot of questions when it comes to this topic.
