Rigor of senior schedule

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm thinking of getting into the medical field, but to gain more knowledge of what its really about, I have to choose between a few options I have:</p>

<p>take Exploring Health Careers - pro: you shadow different people everyday in retirement homes, therapists, surgeons and a funeral home apparently. you actually get to see real surgeries while a nurse explains the procedures to you.
con: takes up 2 class periods and I'm afraid colleges might think I'm slacking off (I'm taking 5 ap classes along with that and I'd have to sacrifice orchestra which I've been doing since 4th grade)</p>

<p>should i do that or try to find a shadowing opportunity over the summer?</p>
