I'm starting to put my AMCAS application together for the upcoming cycle, and I could use some quick advice. I was a caregiver for the elderly for a few years in college. 90% of what I did was not what I would consider medical in nature. I would clothe, feed, bathe, and provide general companionship. The other 10% would be pretty basic stuff like measuring blood sugar and administering insulin, and occasionally emptying a urine collection bag or something. If I go with my gut then I would say "yes", that this was medical in nature because I was providing care, even though it was pretty basic. Is this a stretch? I definitely don't want it to come off that way on my AMCAS application.
