Q&A with Carle Illinois College of Medicine: Developing Innovation and Entrepreneurship as Health Professionals | Student Doctor Network | SDN

In a previous article, I discussed the advantages engineering-trained applicants bring to the health professions. For this article, we asked the

www.studentdoctor.net

How will you discuss your connection between food pantry work and your startup? Have you worked in or shadowed primary care? Any community service experiences in rural health settings?

You should accumulate another 70 hours at the food pantry since some schools screen at 150 hours for non clinical volunteering (excluding tutoring). Loyola expects several hundred hours of non clinical volunteering. Some of your schools are unrealistic with your MCAT scores of 507 and 510. I suggest these schools from your list:

1. Albany Medical College
2. Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science
3. Drexel University College of Medicine
4. Eastern Virginia Medical School at Old Dominion University
5. Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University
6. George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Science
7. Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University
8. New York Medical College
9. Northeast Ohio Medical University
10. Ohio State University College of Medicine
11. Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine
12. Robert Larner, M.D., College of Medicine at the University of Vermont
13. Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University
14. Texas A&M University College of Medicine
15. The University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences
16. Tulane University School of Medicine
17. University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
18. Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine
19. Wake Forest University School of Medicine
20. Wayne State University School of Medicine
21. Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine
22. You could add these schools:
23. Carle Illinois (you fit their profile)
24. Arizona State University School of Medicine and Advanced Medical Engineering (when it opens)
25. Roseman
26. Alice Walton
27. Belmont
28. West Virginia
29. NOVA MD
30. Vermont
31. Quinnipiac
32. Ponce (St. Louis)

If I reported my tutoring work as volunteer work, would they change that based on their system because it was not a paid position.

No. Most school are looking for non clinical volunteering such as food bank, homeless shelter not tutoring.

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Tutoring is an overrepresented activity for premed admissions. Every applicant practically has some teaching, tutoring, or mentoring. It won't help you become a more attractive applicant compared to the service orientation activities of food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, legal support, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation.

If I already submitted my primary app and go ahead and get more of these traditional service hours, should I report them in update letters to the schools?

Yes. Or you could mention the activities during an interview.

Build upon your ongoing activities (food pantry). Get as many hours as you can. Updates must show more than incremental growth to make a difference.
