How to gain shadowing experience?

Do I need to start volunteering first and only then ask doctors in the hospital about shadowing or can I do it even without association to the hospital? Also, how do you even go about it? Do you just find some doctors on LinkedIn and then email them? I am a non-trad working full-time now, thinking about the switch
