AMCAS experiences: Research + Pubs separately?

[mayoformayo]

AAMC's applicant guide says: "Experience Dates Include the start and end dates for each experience. Some Experience Types, such as Awards, Presentations/Posters, and Publications, require only one date." Just to be clear, this means out of your 15 activities, if you have a specific research experience with a few pubs that came from it, that experience and each pub will each be a separate activity?

I lumped all my pubs together under one entry and wrote the actual experience as another. I think listing each pub individually is a bit tacky.

Gotcha, that makes more sense, especially considering they're under one PI.

Pubs in one, research experinece in another. That is easiest for a reader who is trying to be efficient in scanning your application to answer questions: research experience? Publications? etc. Make my job easy and it will be easier to recommend you for an interview.

Thanks! Just to clarify, if we had two separate types of research (i.e. clinical and wet lab) done during different years, should they still be lumped under one "research experience" activity or separated?

In that circumstance, it might be worthy of two separate experiences, particularly if they were different PIs, different topics. You have 15 slots.
