Hello all, I’m looking for advice on how many clinical hours I should aim for. I recently graduated from undergrad and decided to pursue medicine after a gap year and much thought. I was wondering how many hours of clinical experience pre-med students usually have before getting into medical school. I have some other experiences that I feel may help me stand out but they aren’t related to human medicine. I am currently a COVID-19 screener at a local hospital. I love interacting with patients but I’m looking for a more interesting experience to replace or do in addition to this. I have also considered volunteering at hospitals and pursuing a CNA but have not done this yet. In addition I have some volunteer and community service hours but how many hours should I be aiming for? And what’s the average amount of hours for shadowing? Thanks!
