Hi guys,
Just wondering if I'll need to scribe before applying this summer. Scribing jobs in my area require far too many hours per week with my current class schedule alone, let alone with my research and internship schedule too. Listed below are my current EC's and important info that might help.
Major: Biology (Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior)
GPA: 3.70
MCAT: Testing in late April
EC's:
150+ hours volunteering at local hospital
65+ hours volunteering at local botanical garden
2 years as a chemistry lab instructor at my college (paid)
2.5 years (650+ hours) of research in nanomedicine at a very famous research center (2 posters, 2 presentations, 3rd author paper pending pub.)
Accepted into a selective Medical School Mentoring Program
Completed a clinical internship with the local Fire Department (first responders)
1 year as Senator of my college (freshman year)
2 years member of the Student Health Advisory Board at my college
Member of the University's Academic Bowl team for my specific school
Member of the honors college at my university
2 years in a selective research program at my university (received grant funding, etc).
Intramural sports captain (does this even matter? who knows, haha)
Won a scholarship from my local hospital (where I volunteer) for school expenses
Other notes:
From a very low-income family (received many gov. grants to pay for school)
Worked throughout my time in school to pay my mother's rent (for her and my little sister) as well as my own.
I'm a white male
If there IS a need to scribe, what is the best way for me to find a job? Calling local physicians? (I've applied to all the many Scribing companies, with all requiring I either work too many hours/week or in a location I can't feasibly travel to). Thanks again!
