Transcript

You need to shadow a DO doctor as well. I think that would be extremely helpful. Yeah, no, absolutely. And just to kind of jump into that, I would also say too, schools are looking for someone who has shown a commitment, let's say, to research. And they want you to be accepted, or if you're accepted, to continue that. So if you've only done 200 hours of research, they're going to see right through that that you're not a motivated person to to do more research.
