Just curious if it's worth making some sort of distinction on the AMCAS about whether or not a research assistant position was paid or not.

I've done unpaid research in undergrad, but am currently working as a paid research assistant at another university.

For the current Experience, you have the choice of designating the activity as Research or Employment. If you choose Research, you can make clear that you were paid by the Name you pick or within the narrative. If you pick Employment, you definitely want to include the word Research in the title.
