So I'm filling out the 2014-2015 AMCAS and I feel I'm already listing too many categories (up to 14 now). I am asking this here because I think many aspiring MD/PhDs are going to have the same obstacles when detailing their scientific activities.
1. Is it really necessary to include abstracts along with poster/presentations?
All of my abstracts have been solely from the oral presentations and posters I've presented, I'll literally be listing the same citation for both. So can I leave abstracts out?
2. Also, what is the best format to cite posters/presentations on AMCAS.
My regular method is:
Name of project. Name of conference/symposium. Date(month, year). Location.
3. I've been to 7+ conferences and presented at each, so I'm running out of room. Should I exclude any local conferences/symposiums (i.e. ones at my home institution)?
Thanks!
