I have a few questions regarding activities and such on ERAS.
1. In October, I am going abroad for an intense clinical/volunteer experience that I am getting credit for from my medical school.
First, is this fine to list as a work experience on ERAS (it says to list clinical experiences here, and I thought it's unusual enough to mention there)? And second, is it okay to list since I haven't done it yet, but will before interviews? Can I describe it in the past tense or should it be future? I would like to talk about it on my interviews, but I'm fearing that listing it before I do it might be seen as inappropriate (I'm committed, I already got my shots and paid for the plane ticket). What do you think?
2. I did some freelance writing during med school, some of which was about medicine, some not. Is it appropriate to list this writing as work
experiences (It was an extracurricular activity as far as I see it)? It seems hard to squeeze it into the hobbies.
