Hi everyone,
My friend (who doesn't have an SDN account so I'm posting this for her) got rejected at all medical schools so she has nothing to do for a year until the can apply again. She would like to know what is a good hospital job to have for the year that she can continue if she doesn't get in again or leave after a year if she gets in. She doesn't want to do a masters since she wouldn't want to leave before finishing if she got in to med school (and she also doesn't like research). Her GPA and EC are great so there shouldn't be an issue with interview/ getting selected for the job.
What type of job should I advise her to apply for where she can get clinical experience and it looks great on the med school app? Also, one that isn't extremely difficult for a recent uni grad to get.
Last question, would it make a signifiant difference in her app if she volunteered for her year off or had a job? If both were hospital positions with clinical experience, does it matter if it was paying or not?
I've never worked in a hospital or sought something like this so unfortunately I am of no help to her, which is where you lovely SDN people come in.
Thanks
