Hello everyone, so this is my fall semester as a sophomore i started a bunch of ec's I'm wondering if i am going in the right direction so here it is:
Shadowing: 50 hours nephrologist, 50 hours cardiologist MD's and just started shadowing a Primary care DO
Clinical Experience: I started working as a Medical assistant, working like 20 hours a week. I just triage patients, explain them what their lab reports mean etc..
Research: I am doing research in genetics since June, i have a couple projects ongoing. I don't know if this counts for anything but my lab peer had done a successful project i help her put together her poster. She asked me if i wanted to help her present i was like sure ! We presented at Icahn school of Medicine in September, but i had no part in her research more in logistics really. So idk about that
Clinical volunteering: Im going to start volunteering at hospice about next week in the in patient unit got my paper work/ training done this week
Non-Clinical volenteering: I put in about 300-350 hours at my local mosque this summer giving food to hungry people during the months of Ramadan and other religious holidays. I am planning to work with refugee families in the future once i get my schedule figured out for next year
General EC: I have been part of ASBMB (American society of biochemistry and molecular biology) just go to meetings and stuff, Im doing stress busters on campus i give massages to stressed out students. I also make medical apps for doctors, i help make directories, faqs etc i make the doctors life easier and help them treat patients faster (This is incorporation with mount sinai med school)
So thats pretty much it lmk what you guys think any advice would be helpful. And a side note i had a sh** freshmen year: 3.2 cgpa 3.0 sgpa I'm doing much better now though
