Soooo I know everyone says that doing well in a hard science masters program looks good. I have my master of occupational therapy, and took some classes simliar to those in med school i.e. clinical medicine, anatomy, neuroscience, pediatrics, clinical psychiatry, clinical neurology, orthopedics, etc. My undergrad GPA is 3.4, and my grad GPA is 4.0. (73 credit hours) Would my grad GPA overshadow this? I am taking all the prerequisites this upcoming year, so I dont have a science GPA yet. Assuming I get As, am I looking alright?
Right now, I work in a hospital, providing therapy for every diagnosis imaginable. Some common diagnoses include stroke, MS, parkinsons, TKA, THA, dementia, pulmonary and cardiac isssues, renal failure, cancer, etc. By the time I apply, I will have been working there full time for 1 1/2 years. I interact with doctors on a daily basis, discussing patients in team meetings. Is that good enough for clinical experience? Would you guys still recomment shadowing a couple docs? I've watched a couple surgeries, but thats about it.
Thanks guys!
