Hello,
I just realized this summer that medical school might be something that interests me. Just wondering, if I have really cool ECs but they aren't really medical (like if I have a really meaningful on-campus job advising other students, and do research in the family studies and psychology depts (coding and on-site work with diverse population) and have some volunteering experience with other diverse populations and have taught an online class to freshmen) ... what if I just got certified as a CNA and did that for a summer and then continued with my other experiences? Do I actually need to start all new ECs that are related to medicine? Or do medical schools also value non-medical involvement?
