Hey guys!
I'd like to give everyone a brief summary before I address my question.
After high school (graduated in 2012) I enlisted in the army as a medic, got off of active duty in June of 2016. While on active duty I maintained my EMT-B (I still do to this day) took on a variety of leadership opportunities, and treated patients with a lot of autonomy.
I transitioned into the reserves, still a medic, just moved onto a more administrative role with very little patients contact (limited to acute injuries during training). I also conduct two weeks of medical training each year to maintain my EMT-B / table 8's.
Since getting out I have been going to school full time and will be applying to medical school / taking the MCAT May/ June time frame. Currently my GPA is 3.83.
Aside from going to school full time I work anywhere from 25-30 hours a week as a personal trainer. I am also assisting in research for Alzheimer's prevention, I'm expecting to have ~100-125hrs by the time I apply.
Between school, work, research and the reserves (which is much my role encompasses a lot more time then most reservist's) I really do not have the time to fit in much volunteer work. I expect I'll have anywhere between 25-50hours by the time I apply, will this be enough??
Also, is there anything else anyone would recommend in supplementing my application?
Thanks!
P.S, I also have really strong LOR's from a .mil MD, PA-C whom I worked under, Gen-ChemI&II professor.
