How to list several publications for AMCAS?

Hi,

I am getting ready to apply to MD programs in the upcoming cycle. I have a strong research background, and I am wondering how I should list 60+ publications (~20 as first author) in the AMCAS work/activities section.

Is it better to put all research under one activity? Or explain how a particular paper made me want to pursue medicine? Or put all first author papers together, and all co-author papers together?

Ideally I want to highlight the impact of some of them too as (co-author in Nature & Lancet; first author in JAMA & Science). I'm not sure how I can include all this information, because there is no CV we can submit.

Any advice is appreciated
Thanks

Generally I would list each publication separately, reverse chronological order.

BTW - how the heck did you get 60 pubs? Thats a lot. Even in academia, that type of feat would take about ~10-15 years
