Hi everyone!
I'm currently a second year at a state school. I have determined that I want to practice psychiatry and was hoping to get some advice as to best build and tailor my resume. I am plan on taking Step and Comlex.
As of now, this is what I have going on:
Middle of the class, academically speaking (pass/fail)
Volunteer at a free health clinic in my hometown (300 hrs since 2021) - only 20 or so hours of volunteering in the town my medical school is in
Working on a research project, joining onto 2 others in the coming week
Treasurer for the Student National Medical Association
Member of the Neurology and Psychiatry Club
Training to become a crisis text line volunteer
Scholar in a program focused on care for urban and rural underserved communities
OMM Tutor
*I have recently been shadowing a psychiatrist every other week for about 4 hours. I love getting to see the work they do, and I have learned so much in the few weeks I have spent at their clinic. They have offered to reserve Thursdays for me to come in, which is beyond exciting!
Is there anything else I ought to be doing to help my application scream psychiatry?
