Steps to getting into the field of PM&R as a undergrad student

Hi everyone, I’m currently a undergrad student and I’ve recently developed an interest in the field of PM&R. My interest grown in a personal way as I had one of my parents who went through life threatening septic shock and was unable to have bodily function, movement and ability to walk, in which resulted in them needing rehab watching the progression of my parent slowly get there function back by the doctors etc and get back to living their normal life and function really inspired me to want to pursue such a career like PM&R to help other patients while using evidence based medicine instead of pursuing PT or OT.

I’ve started shadowing since last year but had difficulty finding getting in touch with a PMR doctor. Any suggestions to get into the field? Or for those in the field how is it ? I find the procedures they do really cool as well and pain medicine. Any advice would be great thanks.
