I'm trying to finish my application and came across the section about personal biogaphy on TMDSA and I am confused about what to put down for some sections:

1. Have you participated in any health-care related activities since beginning college? If yes, list any health-care related community service or volunteer or employment experiences in which you have participated since you began college. List the inclusive dates and the approximate hours per week you spent in each activity. (Limited to 6 lines and 78 characters per line)

--I have volunteered at two dental offices, i can list it down in this section right? Do I list the number of hours I have shadowed other dentists here too?

2. Have you participated in any non health-care related community service or volunteer activities since beginning college?
If yes, list any non health-care related community service or volunteer experiences in which you have participated since you began college. List the inclusive dates and the approximate number of hours per week or month you spent in each activity. (Limited to 6 lines of text only)

--This is my answer:
Work at Texas Motor Speedway (05/05) 8 hours, (04/06) 8 Hours- money earned goes to Leo's Club account and a portion of the money is used to donate to charities.
A Day to Shine Event (08/05-present)-5 hours per month.
Temple (8/02-present) 10 hours per week: Teach English to elders and young children, and help with maintaining a clean environment

Am I supposed to go into this much details, or should I just list them b/c I have done more community service then this?

3. List extracurricular or significant leisure time activities participated in since beginning college to the present. List the inclusive dates and the the approximate number of hours per week or month you spent in each activity. (Limited to 6 lines of text only)

--ok this is where I am confused about. Do I re-list my community service here and my how hours of shadowing?
my list so far:
70 hours dental shadowing, 20 hours medical, pharmacy, and optometry doctor shadowing, 100 hours of community service, Member of Vietnamese Student Association (8/06-present), Youth mentor, Treasurer of Leo's Club, member of Golden Key International Honour Society, Hip Hop Dancing, Origami.

I'm just not sure if I am writing it in the correct format. Thanks!
 
I'm not associated with anything to do with TX, but it sounds like you are on the right track. I would put all of the dental experience in the first section, unless there is somewhere else in a completely different part of the application that is obviously the place to put i- ie. "11. Put your dental shadowing hours in this section." Hope this helps.

did you read the faqs? I was pretty specific when listing community service as in organization/ hours etc. but I didn't describe what i did...it takes up space, include as many community service as possible in the 6 lines...:luck:.
