<p>Hey guys, i was curious...My dad is a general surgeon and I was wondering if it would be appropriate for me to shadow him. Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes but it won't be a major component of your medical school application - and it should not replace shadowing other physicians.</p>
<p>hmm thats what i expected. maybe my father knows someone who i can shadow. thanks.</p>
<p>that would be so coool if your dad can get you to scrub in and shadow other surgeons or even him on a surgery. LUCKY!! but yeah, i dono if you can do that (legality)</p>
