Can you be more detailed about the 500 hours of non-clinical volunteering? How many overlap with your ROTC experience?

If you are going for military medicine, find a HPSP recruiter. Of course this is a great place to find people who have done it or served in the armed forces.

ETSU is another place that likes military-oriented applicants. Add HBCU schools. Network with SNMA and mentoring organizations for Black physicians, especially men going for medicine.

Mostly food packing for a shelter in Boston, and participation in organizing marathon fundraisers whose proceeds go to veteran families.
