"Briefly list your medically related experience. This can be paid employment, volunteer work or both. List current experience first."

Question: did you guys just type in the name of the position, an agency/hospital/location (that's how I have done it), or did you describe any of the experiences as well? Thanks

P.S This is the best secondary -no essays😀

It says to list, but I would include pertinent information such as: position/title, agency/hostpital, lcoation, duration, etc...

You know what to do 🙂 Since it's the best secondary, send it in soon!

Hey I just sent in my Dmu secondary with similar descriptions to the OP, so i wouldnt worry about the length. On the other hand... Does anyone know how soon we can hear back about interviews? Is there an automatic invite if you have certain scores?

I heard back six days after my package was complete.

They do give out "automatic invites" for an interview, so it's a lot faster than having to fill out the secondaries then waiting again till they respond. They will base the interview just on the primary. However, once you get the interview everyone is basically in the same boat and you dont have anykind of advantage for having gotten the auto invite so prepare as you would normally, even though DMU has a pretty informal interview process.

Do you know the scores you need to have in order to recieve the automatic invite?

Do you know the scores you need to have in order to recieve the automatic invite?

At least a 3.0 GPA

Thanks, I just sent it🙂.
As for the interviews..from SDN I saw that not everyone who meets that 3.0 GPA or certain MCAT score minimim receives the interview. I might be wrong though...

I would guess that your gpa and mcat must be above the averages of the school to get an auto invite.

It probably changes from year to year, but why fret over it? You sent in the secondary! Congrats! Waiting is probably one of the hardest parts.

What would you guys put for shadowing a doctor?
Like what is the job title? Shadow?

 

[silverpaw54]

Also, how would you guys format this? Do you think just having some kind of simple organization/presentation of the information will suffice?

 

[HemaOncoDoc]

Look professional.

Name of Doctor, MD or DO, Speciality, Dates or time spent shadowed.
