Putting TA under honors/awards

Just a quick question but do you think listing TA positions under honors/awards/recognitions would work? I don’t have enough space for all my activities so I just wanted to combine a lot of my smaller activities and was wondering what you guys think?

It doesn't seem to fit.

Not really. Employment.

It's a job primarily.

It could get the Teaching/Tutoring tag or the Employment tag. Teaching/Tutoring would get you more traction as some schools really like to see that as demonstrates acquisition of a skill set that is useful in med school.
I'd suggest dropping Honors/Awards/Recognition entirely and make room for teaching/tutoring. It will take you farther. Whatever you were awarded a prize for (GPA, research, community service, etc. ) will show up elsewhere on your application.
