Hello,
I just finished my sophomore year of undergraduate currently with a 3.6 cGPA. My experience so far includes:
720+ hours of medical scribing in an ED
100 hours research with two small research projects both environmental, unpublished
50 hours volunteering with a botanical center
(I am also a college cheerleader and a part of several campus organizations such as biology club and environmental club).
This summer I am looking to boost my resume by doing multiple volunteering opportunities (that still allow me to volunteer with COVID) such as hospice centers, food banks, and underserved populations. I was thinking about also being a crisis hotline volunteer because this would be something that is more available on my own time. I will also continue to scribe.
Next school year I have a laboratory proctoring (TA) position waiting for me, as well as a research project (within psychology). I will also be sitting in on other research projects as a volunteer to collect data and things of that nature. I will continue to work as a medical scribe until I go into medical School.
I need help with adding experience to my resume. Currently, my only clinical experience is working as a medical scribe, which I love doing. I will have no change at shadowing hours this summer because of COVID, so I was wondering if there was any other steps I should be taking to enhance my resume for my medical school application come next summer. I currently feel as if I do not, or will not, have enough experience to set me apart from other applicants, or I have nothing that will diversify me when comparing my application to hundreds of others.
If anyone has any advice on things I can do to enhance my application and resume, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you, Cynthia
