That would be fine, since you have a credible Contact. If you can, list specialties or summarize them (primary care, types of surgeons, subspecialists in Internal Medicine, eg). Add you spent 4-8 hours with each, or whatever is true.
1) Maybe "podium presentation, instead?
I'm guessing it counts as "clear" that it isn't local if I'm from Canada and the conference was in Kentucky.
1) Not a problem, but if you feel more variety would be beneficial, isn't there a lead pharmacist you could cite from your shift time?
A couple are run-of-the-mill college clubs, including being on the board of a humanities club and editor of a student-run journal. I could reach out to some of the peers I worked with, but it would likely be extremely awkward.
I understand. Transparent explanations are always good to see.
Often Hobbies are grouped, so including both is fine. If you decided on one, it would be hard to pick. Airbnb host (though it seems like it should be a business with income) is sorta different and the others are exciting.
Doesn't your school have a Student Affairs Office with a division for recognized student organizations? Might they have a record of your participation?
A merit scholarship is worth mentioning, but not one based on need. If it's sizable, you can include the amount. Honors list isn't worth mentioning on its own, as your transcript speaks for itself. Hours are 0 or the time you spent sitting in an awards ceremony. Contact is the College Registrar who has a record of everything. Date is the last date something was earned.
1) By "sorta different" I mean I've never seen it listed before, so it might help you stand out. Do you think that's worthwhile? I do. You can group hobbies into one space, so maybe you could think of it in that light, rather than EC (maybe focusing on how international exchanges are an interesting way to have a closer acquaintance with internationals than tourists get).
Did you get course credit for it? What was your role or duties? If primarily shadowing, that is not considered a community service.
I don't think it will hurt to mention and that it was an entre to the clinic experience that segued into other directions.
I disagree with that advice, as you can't foretell which schools will split up the application so some sections are evaluated by different screeners. As every school doesn't have the same person read both the PS and the Activities section, I feel each needs to stand alone. Try not to be repetitious and perhaps try to vary the emphasis in each place: use varied vocabulary, maybe add new anecdotes, put insights, lessons learned, and future direction into a MM essay, and description, role, and results in Activities, or a different mix as suits you. The PS can possibly use another anecdote, and give an overview of the highlights, but described in a different way.
Yes. Or a past teacher will do.
Much appreciated advice! I worked there for more than a year, so I definitely have plenty of anecdotes and experiences to draw from. Thank you
Yes, it's reasonable.
It would be best to give each research experience its own space.
No course credit - shadowing was part of the internship but the majority of it was patient companionship, patient transport, general on-the-floor volunteering (getting patients things, assisting the staff), and asking patients to answer a (voluntary) questionnaire for a public health-related research project.
You might consider taking the shadowing hours and their separate hours and adding to your Shadowing entry. The remaining hours could reasonably be called a community service, and listed as such.
I think the point is to avoid repetition, which can be tedious to the reader, not to say it's "wrong" to do it otherwise. So, it's fine to write what your inner muse tells you to write and ignore the suggestion.
1) Yes.
Yes, unless the research component is dominant enough to call it Research.
For listing yourself as the contact: Perhaps, Musician, Artist in Training, Cellist, Poet, Film Writer, Novelist, Photographer, . . .. But you might also consider an old instructor, an agent, a co-member of a band, a publisher, etc, depending on what you're talking about.
No problem. You handled it fine.
Sounds good to me.
Based on previous replies - choose the most recent poster/pres for date, use someone who can attest to your presence (associated PI or the coordinator responsible for your poster session), don't list contact info for each poster (but do list title, location, and authors)
You are not obliged to have a clinically-related MM.
