When did you graduate? Do you have other nonclinical community service that is not associated with education or Healthcare?
I graduated May 2022 so I’ll have two gap years by time of applying. I had some non clinical community service with a food bank and an org that supported homeless youth for about 100 hours total!

Ok. Push to get 150 hours. Any networking with your state school and schools that host AHECs will help. Connect with LMSA chapter officers.
