Hi everyone,
I'm seeking more clinical experience during my gap year to prepare myself for medical school. Based on feedback from adcoms, I decided to apply for a Nursing Assistant position in a hospital to gain some valuable hands-on patient experience. I interviewed and received job offers from both the Neurology/Neuroscience department and the Trauma Services department.
I was equally impressed with both departments and felt that I would be happy, comfortable and benefit immensely from either position. If it helps to provide context, I'm eventually looking to enter primary care practice in either family, internal, or emergency medicine. Also, the hospital is directly connected with my first choice medical school so this is a great opportunity to meet some faculty.
Which position (neuro vs trauma) should I choose and why? Are there any factors should I prioritize in making this decision? If you have any personal insight or advice I'd greatly appreciate it!
