[Mr.Smile12]

When did you graduate from UGA? What service orientation activities have you done (food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, legal support, transportation services, housing rehabilitation)? How do the activities where you have the most hours (tech safety, artistic endeavors) have anything to do with "why medicine," considering the number of hours you have listed with clinical exposure is low by comparison?

Just graduated this past May. I've done food distribution, health screenings at shelters, and tutoring for underserved students. For the activities where I have the most hours, I have been doing both of those from a very young age (around 12 years old, so 10 years). The tech safety is about helping vulnerable populations, it's something I got into through Girl Scouts and have kept up with. The artistic endeavors are mostly not medicine related, but I have done some work with helping to paint murals at free clinics.
