Include engineering internship in work/activities?

I'm working on my work/activities section and was wondering if it would be a good idea or a waste of space to add an engineering internship? It was a summer internship in biomedical engineering at a research company. Is this more confusing or more helpful to put since I majored in BME and this internship helped me realize becoming a physician was the right path. In my mind it also shows what I was doing that summer so there's no "gap" in productivity that summer in college.

Yes include it and you can describe it on its own merits, what I mean is not every job of value to you has to be related to medicine

Is it worth putting over a senior capstone research project?

It seems that this BME summer internship was an important milestone in your journey, and for that, it would seem worthy of inclusion as one of your 15 experiences. However, only you can decide whether it's worth including over your other experiences as we know nothing about your capstone project, other 14 experiences, and their significance to you (relative to this BME internship).

Are any of your other experiences similar? For example, if you have two hospital volunteering experiences, you could consider combining them as one "activity" to make room for both your capstone project and BME internship. Similarly, many people will also list all of their hobbies as one activity, etc. Just my thoughts.
