you should be able to arrange a shadowing experience through one of the schools. how far are you from tampa? or you could call one of the schools and see if they can help you arrange something in your area. idk if they can, but it is worth a try.

I'm not from Orlando but I'll try to offer some advice. I'd look into shadowing an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist rather than limiting yourself to just an AA if you're having trouble. I'd also suggest looking into places other than hospitals. I've found hospitals to be a little more difficult. I'm currently shadowing pretty frequently at an orthopedic surgery center that's not affiliated with a hospital. If you're still having issues, I'd try to work a connection (e.g., alumni network if you went to school nearby, friend or family friend even if he/she isn't even in that department but would be willing to contact someone on your behalf).
