@Docnish willing to help with your personal statement 🙂 I graduated with a writing minor and I'm well-versed when it comes to grammar and such!

Can you include scribe and medical translator in your clinical volunteering hours? And you don't really have any non-clinical humanitarian type hours listed at all.Do you have any of these activities?

would definitely agree on the non-clinical service hour idea. I was asked more about these during the interview process than my clinical service.

 

[Hi_I'mPaul]

I would get out of your comfort zone of student orgs for volunteering and out into the community to help those that are less fortunate. Then, you can use this as an update for schools throughout the year! Schools love to see your "altruistic" side. I agree with Faha's list

During my interviews, I got asked about my internship at the AHA, which is was not clinical in nature, but I see your point!
