In case I don't get in this cycle, I can still use this year for further improving my app for next cycle.
My current plan: full-time research and some clinical/non-clinical volunteering during the weekends
For scribing, I feel like I'm too late to apply for that since others on here have mentioned it takes close to 6 months to actually start and it requires a 2-yr part-time commitment; I'll still apply to this in case
I have also applied to 100+ other research positions in clinical/lab research assistantships in hospitals to see if I can get a better, more medically relevant position.
So I was wondering what are some other good, meaningful activities to do during the year that go beyond the usual research, scribing, EMT, volunteering, etc.?
For example:
Does anyone think working in health-related NPOs is worth it? Has anyone created/managed a NPO?
Has anyone found working in Peace Corps worth it? Are there any similar shorter-term organizations?
Alternatively, would it be better to focus on things I like outside of medicine?
