Honestly, hours, in terms of experience, does not really matter. I would have at least a good amount of each experience to talk about in your interviews. For example, I only shadowed my DPM for 20 hours total but I only cared about the actual experience itself instead of trying to get hours in.How many hours of volunteering and shadowing are necessary for a competitive application to podiatry schools (not considering MCAT, GPA, & LORs)?

definitely not as heavy, but you have to have something to talk about. For sure, interview conversations are about what you do outside of school.Thanks for the feedback. As for volunteering, about how many hours? Is it weighted as heavily as MD/DO programs?
