1700 hrs, support staff in L&D, mostly custodial duties but helped with transportation and dietary needs,
assisted with basic tasks in C-sections

40 hrs, shadowing in ED

600 hrs, informatics research--designed and prototyped a basic simulation dummy for developing countries, presented at a national conference

3500 hrs, engineering co-op, aircraft brakes company--got a variety of experience in different departments, 3-week business trip to Taiwan included

Do you have the MSAR?
 
No, I guess I'm too cheap to so far...do you think it's worth it? 🙂

This is your career we're talking about. There are plenty of folks here who are happy to help, but there is no substitute for doing your own research. If you can do 600 hours of research on informatics, 25 bucks and 10 hours seems like a small price to pay to investigate a decision you may live with forever.

Understood, and thanks for the reminder. I just didn't know how much more truly necessary information I would get from it, beyond what is in the LizzyM spreadsheet, for instance.

MSAR is what I use, but any thoughtful list can be evaluated.
