I'm applying this cycle, but had a question about jobs. I'm taking a gap year and plan on working full time until I start medical school. If I had a choice between working as a scribe or as a lab assistant in a pathology lab (non-research), would one be a better choice than the other? I know scribing can be seen as additional clinical experience, but would it be seen as inherently "better" than working in the lab if I were to submit an update to my secondaries in a few weeks saying I had worked x00 hours as a scribe? Which also leads to the question, is that alone sufficient enough to warrant an update (I imagine working in the lab couldn't really work for an update since it's not exactly clinical or research)? Would appreciate any thoughts/advice.
