    Non-clinical volunteering - multiple activities with ~70-100 hours each?

    With COVID restrictions ramping down, I'm finally able to find non-clinical volunteering opportunities. I have found 3-4 activities I find meaningful, and would like to do them once a week (2 of them are very flexible with when I can do them). I'm planning on applying next cycle, which gives me...

    Short Term Non-Clinical Volunteering

    Hey, I was wondering how short-term non-clinical volunteering looked like. Specifically, I'm a computer science major, and I'm part of a group this semester that is creating a tutoring app for kids on campus, and we hope to extend this app to anyone in our community. It looks like I'll be...

    Should I take on this volunteering "offer"? What would it count as?

    I recently made a thread about hospice/children's hospital volunteering, which I plan to continue to do over a long time, but the assisted living facility I go to that cares for hospice patients just asked me if I wanted to volunteer through them as well to provide companionship to their older...

    Classification of Volunteer Leadership

    Hi Everyone, I currently hold an unpaid leadership role within a rare disease non-profit (which I assume is "non-clinical" although medically-related). Without imparting too much information, my role is managerial and may help to provide previously unknown data related to this disease. To...

    Do MD's have a better predisposition to do non-clinical research than other fields?

    Hi guys, I am studying medicine on the 3rd semester, which means we are going through biochemistry. I always looked forward to biochem, as I like when stuff gets really detailed and geeky (such as molecular structures and functions, hard math problems, etc.), but right now I am quite...

    Should I apply the 2018 cycle?

    I will be taking the MCAT in Jan-March, first practice test I didn't do too well but I am not discouraged. I will probably be able to obtain three LOR's by the time I apply but I don't have one yet. I'll probably have a real good one from a physician across the street from me who I have shadowed...

    Is my volunteering experience acceptable?

    So I'm not sure if my volunteering experience is up to standard. I was an volunteer intern at a rehab clinic for 30-40hrs per week last spring. It ended up around 600+ hours of medically related experience. I volunteered at this clinic in the past as an undergrad, and when I was required to...

    Master's Level pursuing Doctorate

    An obvious reason to earn a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology is to be able to practice as a Clinical Psychologist, but as a Master of Social Work Graduate who is applying for licensure to practice in my state, I am stumped on where to continue. I will already be able to practice Psychotherapy...
