I suggest tagging it as Social Justice/Advocacy. In the description you can mention paid, volunteer, and practicum designations. If you also mention intermittent involvement or academic-year involvement you don’t have to break it into “Repeated” date-frames, unless you prefer to highlight the hourly totals for each category.
Thank you!
This thread is for Work/Activities tips. But one typo won’t hurt you.
I don't think that's a common enough acronym for readers of your essays who are not medical to know.
Use Leadership as the tag if the space will include only the dates and hours of the VP position along with the co-founded mental health project. Use Extracurricular if you want to include the dates and hours of all the college Honor Society interactions, but add mention of the VP role to the title you give the space.
Presuming you have at least one PubMed ID# or DOI, since they all come from the same project, list them as a Publication under the highest prestige journal, with a note after the citation that it also appeared in . . . , along with the second identifier (if you have two). And then that it was also an oral presentation at . . .
Sure, but don’t include near-universal commonalities, like Dean’s List. And don’t say, “due to a lack of space on the Primary . . . “. Just list them and say why each is important to you.
Ues, but if the Presidential Scholarship wasn't highly selective, leave it out.
See the second post of this thread, item 20 and item 14.
A) of the above. with a brief comment about the activity's pause in your narrative.
Thank you so much for your response. One last question I had is,
As you have more than enough clinical hours completed, you are fine to just leave off the planned activity and save it for Secondaries or update letters. Besides adding zero value to your application, it's not related to the previous related experience (organization, location) and will have a different Contact.
Great, thank you! One other question, did you list in chronological or reverse chronological order?
The brevity of an experience doesn’t mean it can’t be listed as MM. But I suggest if you do so that you include its significant impact or transformative nature and also have begun whatever action proceeded from the inspiration that resulted.
Reverse chronological, and then added one more that was still under review (pending only minor formatting revisions) at the end.
Your question and the associated replies have been moved to our main AMCAS Work and Activities thread. Posters can search through it in case they have similar questions.
I have moved your question to our main thread.
In either an update note (where allowed) or for an appropriate Secondary prompt, you might say, “Please be aware that I made the error of submitting an incorrect activity description under Volunteer-Not Medical/Clinical, titled [name you gave the space], dated (whatever) It should read . . . (yadda, yadda, yadda).
Speak generally about your role, but feel free to add something interesting that you observed during your time in the OR.
Will do!
It depends on what you say and whether you want to use characters explaining you were in training and under the direct supervision of a certified tech or nurse.
Do you have sufficient non-clinical volunteering?
I've got quite a bit from undergrad, but one of my takeaways from my WAMC thread was that I needed more community volunteering. That's something I'm looking to get started on ASAP as well -- plenty of religious centers/homeless shelters/etc. in my area that need help.
Okay. I'd focus on that first and foremost. With respect to your clinical hours I'd say you'd be fine to quit.
If you have no other significant Leadership entries, then use option 2, call it Leadership, and mention the employment aspect in the description.
A Leadership space should include only the description/role, datespan, and hours of the leadership activity. If you have enough hours of being a cleanup supervisor and the space could stand on its own, then split the activity into two portions, Leadership and Volunteer/Community Service (don't double count the hours). If not, then plan B. But if plan B, then include the leadership role in the title you give the space, as well as describing it in the narrative.
Yes.
Yes.
It doesn't have to be, but it does give your application more pizazz for time spent.
Put it under research. You don’t need to indicate if it was paid or not
If you don't have patient interaction, it would not be clinical.
1) It depends on your role.
Thanks. I think I'll put the clinical research under the research/lab category as I already have a lot of clinical hours.
You may list them together. You can include mention of each specialty in the title you give the space. But you'll want to include Contact info for the one not entered into the header within the narrative.
