So I am trying to figure out if it is necessary for me to take another cycle off to get more clinical experience. I am intending to use an MD degree to go into research or public health, and honestly don't have much desire to get more clinical experience. I have shadowed 5 doctors for a total of 45+ hours, and did 80 or so hours of hospital volunteering in high school.
I have very good research experience, with 2 years undergrad in a good lab and a research trip abroad that was fully funded by grants. I am also pre-IRTA.
If I have good ECs and honors (PBK, leadership roles), should I worry that my lack of clinical experience? How do I make it clear in my interview that goals ultimately are not to be a clinician without coming off as misguided?
