Okay, so I'm filling out my CAS and doing okay until I come to the section that says "Specialty Elective(s) and Related Activities"...

What do I write here? Do I just write down the electives I've taken so far (which is only research and ophtho so far)? And what the heck is a related activity?

Thank you so much to whoever can shed some light on this!

i just wrote down my 3rd year ophtho experience, my 4th year rotation, and my future aways

I included my away rotation, home ophtho rotation, and optho research elective. Additionally, I added other non-service, non-research activities related to ophtho such as lectures, grand rounds, previous ophtho experiences, etc. Good luck! You will feel much relief when it is finally in the mail...

See you in a couple months...
