CLINICAL
Public Health Center in NC- August 2015- Present: Approx 300 hrs.

NON-CLINICAL
Boys and Girls Club: August 2014-Present Approx 300 hrs.
Originally started off as a normal volunteer and after-school tutor, but had the idea of throwing monthly birthday parties for the kids, so started off my getting a group of friends/people in my dorm to go, but soon became an actual monthly event and got a larger more diverse group from campus to go
University Activities Board (on-campus):
Part of the Homecoming and Concert planning committee here on campus, help plan out concerts, different events on campus. Was more specifically the financial advisor of the group (wrote out budget, etc)
As far as my school list goes- I was really really really hoping to stay in-state: Brody @ ECU, UNC, Duke, Wake Forest for MD, Campbell for DO. Other than that- I don't really know what other schools were good options. If not in NC, would like to stay on the East Coast. Also- thinking if going into primary care/Gynecology and Obstetrics, so schools that specialize in this would be great.
Thanks!!!!!!! Honest opinions please!
