Hi guys,
It appears that I am going to be a reapplicant for this coming cycle. I did not have a very successful cycle only having one II resulting in a R. Any tips and recommendations for my school list is greatly appreciated.
1200 hours as an ED scribe working in both urban (Madison) and rural EDs and urgent cares (Most meaningful) (paid)
2500 hours (~2500 additional anticipated hours) as a clinical support technician at an outpatient orthopedic clinic working in multiple subspecialties. Job responsibilities include rooming patients and gathering histories, assisting with procedures, scribing for providers, discharge and coordinating follow up visits as well as orders. (Most meaningful) (paid)
Research Experience
My research is admittedly weak.
125 hours working with a professor to create teaching materials and the effect use of these materials in student outcomes. (This may be better placed as a miscellaneous activity)
450 hours working as a lab assistant for a food safety lab. This lab was based more on private usage rather than academic research and I have no publications due to this.
I have also recently began working with a physician looking at clinical data looking at patient outcomes. This should also result in a publication before the time I would matriculate. I anticipate having about 50 hours by the time of submission with an unknown amount of anticipated hours.
Shadowing
I have no formal shadowing however in both my roles as a scribe and clinical support tech, I have worked closely with physicians. In my current role, I have the ability to observe surgery as well and have been able to observe two hip replacements and hope to observe in the OR 2-3 more times in the coming months.
Non-clinical Volunteering
30 hours working at a overnight camp working with children with intellectual disabilities.
100 hours working as a volunteer youth baseball coach.
I have also recently began volunteering with the Red Cross in their Disaster Cycle Services department
Non-clinical Paid Employment
1600 hours working for a construction company as a shop hand, preparing materials and delivering materials to jobsites
1000 hours driving for Doordash
