Applying this upcoming cycle but not sure what I should do during this second gap year. please help!
Worried I lack clinical experience in numbers, the experience I do have is incredible and I have a lot to say about it!
I have interview offers with Scribe America - not super flexible hours, not the most enthusiastic about this one but if it would really add to my experiences I would do it - not a fast typer, at all, worried I won't be able to keep up with it
I have an offer for clinical research that I am actually super interested in and enjoy the area of research - serves the patient population I hope to serve one day - I really enjoy working with patients/educating them - at my top ranked med school - something I'm passionate about
I may have the option for an Americorps position depending on how the interview goes. - working with the community I hope to serve - very involved and I've always wanted to do an Americorp gig - very passionate about education.
long story short - would I benefit from taking the scribe position?? Or should I do something I'm really passionate about?
