Hello,
I'm sorry if this has been asked a lot - I tried looking on SDN but couldn't find advice specific to the same situation as me. I have been very fortunate to receive a few acceptances recently (thanks to SDN for the wisdom through the years!) and I originally planned to scribe for this year. I let the med schools know this was my gap year plan and it was also discussed in some of my interviews since I lacked clinical experience in my activities.
However, if I had the choice, I think I'd be more interested in different jobs for my gap year rather than scribing (I have heard it's quite tiring on top of being low-paid). I have heard that if I had a decent number of hours already worked, the medical schools won't care about me quitting, but I haven't worked any hours yet as a scribe (I'm supposed to start in 2 weeks). Could changing my plans lead to my offers being rescinded? (To be clear, I would most likely be doing a non-clinical job if I quit scribing). Thank you for any advice!
