Hi!
Would love any advice on my chances for MD or DO and any help with creating a school list! I know my clinical experience is lacking a bit, but looking to increase my hours and do it consistently for a few months. I'm currently in the process of reinvention and was wondering how my reinvention turned out and how to create a school list accordingly.
