I'd list it for exactly what it is: research. To answer your question, I would consider it more extracurricular than healthcare. What I consider to be healthcare includes, but certainly not limited to, shadowing, patient care, volunteering in a hospital, etc. The only time Id consider research as healthcare is if you were working in a hospital pathology laboratory processing biopsy tissue etc.

Last year I put it as extracurricular.

Can you list it as "Non-Healthcare Employment"? Or is it better to list it as EC?

Research is an extracurricular. Working with patients is clinical experience.

Were you employed as a Biochem researcher?

I initially volunteered but then received a "paid summer student" position? However, rest of my research experiences (in diabetes and ecology) are paid through student awards.

Then you could argue either way for EC vs employment, but it's not healthcare related. Ultimately, you're probably putting more effort into worrying over than needed.

Thanks so much!
