If you want to put it on your application. If you ever get a question about it (doubtful) just explain what happened. These things happen it shouldn't be an issue in the big picture.

I think a bigger issue is the lack of paragraphs, but that is just me.

I've had a similar experience. Still went in my app. Discuss the good parts and get anothet job asap. Gaps look suspicious.

After figuring out my schedule and planning to take 19 credits each term including summer to get finished early, I've decided working isn't best. I'm already shadowing and am looking for two good volunteer opportunities as well as waiting for a research opportunity within my major at my Uni. I hope getting involved in these other areas aren't viewed as a gap.

Sorry about your situation. I have seen this quite a few times; people with more seniority abuse the new employees. Next time be aware of you probational period and be smart about it. I would include this experience in your app. and explain the situation without all the dramatic details.

I started working in a clinic as an assistant. I worked for 3 months and was promoted to an MA position (I had previously earned a certificate). After working for 3 months in that position I consistently had issues with a fellow coworker. When I worked with this person no supervisors were around (evening hour clinic). The person was very out of line with remarks and criticism (was about 50). I am very good at what I do, I can multitask like a mutha and I get my stuff done so efficiently and quick I could do two peoples job. That I'm 100% true to. Now, after several vindictive attacks from this person, I brought it first to the attention of my lead and then to the attention of the manager. The manager was eXTREMELY under qualified for this position and INCREDIBLY unprofessional but that's besides the point. My managers advice was "ignore it or stand up for yourself. Take care of it on your own, dont bring any problems to me". Literal words. Now, the incidents with this person were beyond just regular issues with another coworker to the point of ignoration. There was honestly something mentally wrong with this person where it got so bad I literally could not pick up a Qtip without her being involved. I was definitely not the first person to have problems with this person, I was actually about the 10th to be honest. Most of the time the person was just very rude and unprofessional, but when they realllllyyyy felt threatened by your presence this outburst of over the line behavior was released onto you. I really ignored it for as long as I could. Even after my managers advice I just pulled back and tried my best to do my work without even thinking of this person. But when supervisors weren't around I was honestly a little frightened of my safety. Not even exaggerating they had the attitude and look that wouldn't make you double guess dangerous Schizophrenia. So after a few weeks of dealing with this progressively outrageous behavior I tried one last time to reach out to my supervisors. Once again my problems were dismissed and I got this feeling like the tables were turning on me for complaining about these issues when I know for a faccctttt any other adult with my experience would've been respected. I think the fact that I am very young was a huge factor in not only my managers complete withdraw of attention of this problem but also the cause for the treatment by the coworker as well. So one night I'm working my life away like I do when I'm serious and dedicated to my purpose. I'm working two doctors schedules and the other is supposed to be support to me an doing cleaning tasks etc of the clinic. They come to me as their cheerful self and demand me to drop what I'm doing (working with patients...) to go do this tedious cleaning task because they didn't feel like it (never do). I was going to do this task anyways when I could get to it, but I kept hearing this voice in the back of my head "stand up for yourself. You need to take care of it". So this is my exact words "hey, I'm working with dr. Blank and dr. Blanky right now, and since you're support could you start it for me and let me come finish when clinic is over? Or I will just do it when the last patient is ready to leave". They huff and puff and slam the nurses station door and go somewhere into the depths of the clinic. Once my doctors are finished I signed off with them and then out of curiosity went into the cleaning room to see if the task had been started. To my surprise, it had not (of course). I did the task, made sure clinic was locked up and ready to go, said goodbye to the front desk peeps and walked home. Next morning I wake up (getting ready to go right back and work my life away) and I hear my iPhone doin it's ringidity ding thing. It's my boss. I answer. "hello blank" "hi premed fresh. I received an email from your co worker this morning and after a talk with them, and going over other things, I'm not going to move forward with you." "okay.. Bu" "OKAY? BYE🙂".
After checking my file through the hospitals records it just says 90 day trial terminated and a box marked under "unable to attain main duties of job". Also might I add it was the LAST DAY of my 90 day trial. Had it been a day over I could've been protected by my union. Also about a week before this incident I had asked my boss if I could drop down to two nights a week because fall term was coming up and I'm a dedicated student more then a clinic slave ( obviously not exact words).

None of the facts in this post are false in anyway or over exaggerated or tweaked or dramatized. Everything is 100% truth as I know it based on what I saw with my eyes and interpreted with my ears.

My question is, since my time there (6 months total) was very valuable in clinic experience how do I go about this come application time? Also let me add that while I was an assistant I was technically employed through the hospital med school. I wasn't actually an employee of the clinic until I was PROMOTED into my MA position. What gives.

You need to work on your explanation of this story some. If you present it as you have here, the person who interviews you will suspect you have a cluster B personality disorder. I'm going to go with you're young, driven, and just being overly dramatic, but you absolutely want to avoid the perception that you are difficult to work with. No matter what actually happened, blaming your coworkers will not do you any favors in seeking future employment or admission to medical school.

I would go with something to the effect of, "there ended up being some confusion about job responsibilities, and things didn't work out, but it was a great experience and I learned a lot about how a clinic works and also how to navigate a difficult work environment." If you're asked to clarify a difficult work environment, you can just say that you entered a workplace with strong established personalities, and it was hard being a junior member of the team, but you learned a lot from it.

Haha obviously the way I'm explaining it on here isn't the way I would say it to an adcom.. Just writing what happened in a loose way I guess. As most have pointed out I didn't take my grammar, wording or sentence structure too seriously as its an online forum haha. But thanks for your input. I agree there are definitely better ways to handle a situation like this and I have learned.

Thanks for posting the message. OP would clear it before I could read it. Oh well.
