I was a corpsman in the Navy and had experience with L/D (2 years, deployment to Philippines) and primary care with my BAS (1 year with a 9 month USMC OEF deployment).
Does this count for clinical experience? I've been out for almost 2 years now (will be 3-4 years when I apply to med school since navy). I was going to try to volunteer / get clinical experience at the VA. With my military history and some VA work that should be enough right?
I was going to get volunteering done with my Student Vets Organization and my public health organization.
I'm trying to think of other things to do, but falling short.
I want to help other vets and low-income families. Unless of course the above is enough for volunteering.
Lastly in regards to shadowing, I'll probably apply mostly DO. I was planning on shadowing an MD and a DO to get both perspectives. However, would an MD school view a LOR / Shadowing experience from a DO negatively?
Thank you!
