Paid Clinical experience

[anbuitachi]

Sorry i asked this in another thread but not many looks at it so i decided to make a new thread..


anyway, in AMCAS they have option for Community service/volunteer - clinical/medical, but not Paid employment thats clinical or medical. They also dont have a separate medical/clinical choice!!

So what should I put? If i put medical/clinical won't I be lying since it's not a volunteer?

I want to get this right cause it's my only long clinical experience in college.. if I put it down as Paid employment, would they mark it as I have 0 clinical?

Thanks

Put paid employment if you were paid. You can clarify the nature of the work in the description.

Employment Non-Military (unless of course you were in the military)

The title and description should be enough for anyone to realize it was a clinical experience.

In the AMCAS statistics it wouldn't be reported as "clinical/volunteer". Which is why when you look at school to school in MSAR, even though everyone here freaks out over "clinical/volunteer" experience, only 60-70% accepted students self-report "clinical/volunteer" at most schools. Of couse some schools are much higher.

Also, when you name the Experience, you can call it something that makes the clinical component obvious. This will show up in the second line of the header for that entry when the application is printed out.
