Dear Dr. [Last Name],
I hope this message finds you well! My name is [Your Name], and I am a pre-dental student at University of Rochester. I am reaching out to ask if you would be willing to allow me to shadow you in your practice. I am interested in gaining more exposure to the dental field, learn about patient care in a clinical setting, and better understand the day-to-day responsibilities of a dentist.
​
Please let me know if this would be possible, and if so, what days or times might be most convenient for you. Thank you very much for considering my request.
​
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
