I am just finishing my junior year of college in Minnesota. Unfortunately, I did not do much outside of school with my freshman and sophomore years of college besides research.
Here's what I have worth noting so far:
~1500 hours of total lab research experience in a few different labs. My research now requires testing in the hospital if that matters at all
~75 hours volunteering in the pediatric unit of the hospital visiting patients and managing the playroom.
- A 9-day service trip to New Orleans over spring break
- 16 years of soccer, captain of a year of JV and club, 1yr varsity in high school, captain/organizer of intramurals for 3 years (intramural champs this semester )
- Member of pre-medical club for 3 years with ~30 hours scattered volunteering
- Physician shadowing totaling 25 hours or so
- Self-taught guitar, 2 years
Plans for the summer:
- Continuing to volunteer in the pediatric unit 3-4hrs/wk
- Volunteer clinical research in emergency department ~20hrs/wk
- Continued work in my lab 5-10hrs/wk
- Collaboration with 3M (they have new technology and I have access to a hospital to do testing, so I'm doing research with them ~20hrs/wk)
- Sporadic shadowing
By the end of summer I should have:
~2000 hours of research (not including volunteer research) and a publication in the works
400 - 500 hours of clinical volunteering
40 - 50 hours of shadowing
Tentative plans for next year:
- Continued work in my lab and with 3M ~15hrs/wk total
- Treasurer of my pre-med club ~3hrs/wk
- Continued volunteering in pediatric unit 3-4hrs/wk
- TA for introductory biology course ~10hrs/wk
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
