I'm assuming you are thinking about going to med school. Just contact a physician in your area, or you can look for programs online, and you will find an opportunity. Explain you are trying to go to med school and it would help with the admissions process, and you think the experience would help you to decide whether being a physician may or may not be for you. It is a common practice.

Your company’s assigned aid station, sick call place, education office at Base hospital. You’ll generally have to get some sort of permission to shadow someone with actual patients due HIPAA regulations.
