TOUCH Hours?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
My school does TOUCH hours and I didn't even know about it until the fall of my second year. I have done medical missions, volunteer work, etc. However, I feel like the volunteering and medical outreach is really important but logging it into a fancy computer system isn't important.

Gunner’s want the award, we need a BOX. TO. CLICK.
 
I'm gonna be applying to arguably the most fluffiest/ bleeding heart field and literally no one cares that you did volunteering/ medical outreach.
Really, I would have thought plastics would be all over that kind of stuff. I mean every plastic surgeon just wants to correct cleft palates and burns, right? :whistle:

nope, nada, zero
 
0. ACGME programs dont know what it is and they dont care either.
 
I have been told that any mentioning of TOUCH hours associated with the DO initial on your resident application will be in the auto rejection pile.
