Any clinical experience?

If you're referring to work experience in a clinical setting...then, no.

Clinical can be volunteering or work, just has to be a health care setting, although being an ochem tutor would not count.

I mean, I volunteered within the ambulatory surgery unit of a hospital for several months.

Doing what? Interaction with patients/families? Did you mention it in the primary? If not you should have.

When did you apply?

When were you complete?

Any IIs?

Yeah, I spoke to how the experience provided me with a different perspective about bedside manner, in terms of physicians interacting with the family members of patients.

My primary was complete in August, and my secondaries have been complete at various times.

So far, I've received an II from East Carolina and a rejection from UNC.
