PAID EXPERIENCES
650h as dental hygiene assistant during covid (trying to decide whether to label this as clinical since it's dental and not medical, but it dealt nearly exclusively with patient interaction)

MISC

That's about it, I'll obviously apply to all TMDSAS schools, but have had trouble compiling an OOS list due to my high stats and mediocre ECs as I'm worried about yield protection from mid/low tier schools and don't think I have the resume for t20s. Thoughts on good schools to look at?

Put the dental hygiene assistant just as non-clinical employment.
