premed experiences and residency applications

[singularity2012]

In cleaning up my resume and attempting to construct a preliminary CV, on which I will add relevant experiences as they come during medical school, I was wondering about whether my premed clinical experiences and extracurricular activities are "relevant" anymore. For all you medical students, should these experiences be included in applications for residency? Thanks

Doubtful. Unless it's research it's off the new CV.

I too have heard that it's acceptable to list premed research on residency applications.

Only if you published it. Much like diamonds, publications are forever. However, use your discretion. If you published in a no-name journal, and the article is something that obviously sounds like fluff, you might want to leave it off. Or if there were 32 authors, and you were #27.

Paying jobs and publications get listed for sure. Everything else is not going to have much impact.

what if the research is published on a school's journal and got an award?
