Hey hey, so I'm at a point where time is becoming a scarcer commodity and was looking for a few opinions on which would be the better use of it.
Earlier this year I got ~100 hours of clinical volunteering; fabulous time, learned tons more than I thought I would, incredibly nice staff, and I'd go back to it in a heartbeat if I had time. That said, I feel like I could defend those hours' significance in, say, an interview, and I'm not sure if I could get more out of putting more hours in there.
I have the chance to write as a freelancer for a news journal coming up; it isn't medically related at all, but I'd like to be able to break into writing anyway. Would that kind of publication be worth the time investment over, say, more hours in a clinic? I'm still getting some shadowing points in, but long-term volunteering would take up a bigger chunk of time.
Thanks!
