Does anyone know how absolutely thorough and accurate we must be in the ERAS Experiences section, especially in terms of past work experiences?
I took a few years off between college and med school and during that time had about 8 different short-lived, errr, "careers," with lots of freelance type work. I can't even count all my past employers, let alone give exact dates and numbers of hours worked. Our dean told us to be extremely thorough, however, and not leave ANYTHING out. Ok, what do I do? Is the same thing true for volunteer and extracurriculars? Ugh.
Does ERAS investigate people's CVs? I have nothing to hide, I just can't remember every name and date from my past.
