I just discovered that my school probably won't let me declare a minor this late in my schooling (I wanted to do a fifth year to explore public health) so I'll probably be graduating right at the time I apply to medical school. I'm curious about some of your thoughts regarding some activities I'm considering for the gap year.
My primary current plans are:
-continue as a volunteer in my research lab. Despite graduating I can still work on the longitudinal projects I've been working on and maybe publish a couple more papers on the subject.
-work EMS full time OR work for a hospital full time (thoughts here appreciated)
-participate in AmeriCorps doing something public health related (to explore interest in incorporating PH into medical career)
I like these ideas, but there are a lot of things I might not have considered as well. Do these activities sound like they would be productive while applying to medical school, and would you add/exchange anything else?
Thanks!
