So I am currently choosing between two summer jobs. The first is a caregiver for the elderly (feeding, bathing, cleaning etc.) and the second is working at a group home for the mentally disabled (social/skill development and behavior modification). The group home sounds more fun/interesting to me, but I am also told that I need patient care hours (ie. the caregiver job). What do you think I should take? "And what do you think I need more experience of in terms of research, patient care and leadership?
Here is a current list of my experience thus far:
Big Brother (1 year -current)
Lab assistant (3 months-current)
I will be taking surveys in a free clinic for 3 hours a week for 3 months, with possible authorship
Senior living volunteer (4 months in 2013, a little outdated)
Hurricane Sandy Relief (200 hours, 3 years ago)
I've only shadowed 1 plastic surgeon, so this area needs work.
I will be applying to Med school in July 2017.
Thanks for your help
