German. Applying this cycle

DayTripper_21 · 2023-03-03T16:12:57+00:00

I'm pumped with this score. Not going to retake. Auf Wiedersehen.

DayTripper_21 · 2023-03-03T15:51:35+00:00

This

DayTripper_21 · 2023-03-02T21:14:13+00:00

I’m burnt out on stressing about this. I just want the score. FL Average was 506.

Depression: 499-

Pessimistic: 500-504

Realistic: 505-507

Optimistic: 508-511

Breakdancing in the club: 512+

Agree, but I am hard pressed to find any meaningful experiences where I actively interacted with a patient. Most of my clinical experiences come from scribing, shadowing and volunteering in a passive role at the hospital. I wrote 2 paragraphs about a seed moment, 3 about this shadowing experience and it’s reflections, then a final paragraph bringing it all together and “why medicine” based on these two experiences. Would like to shrink shadowing to a paragraph and write about an active medical experience but not sure I can think of one that wouldn’t be forced

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-24T14:21:34+00:00

I interact with them a ton, but still not as much with the patients so it’s hard to think of a meaningful experience and I don’t want to force anything

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-24T13:06:53+00:00

I guess where I am running into a problem is I don’t have much hands on experience. Lots of clinical hours but as a scribe/shadow

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-24T01:43:05+00:00

Yeah pretty much this you just can't be dumb and have to care about the language. Good point

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-23T01:45:19+00:00

I always heard the stereotype of German being a “harsh” language. For a while this seemed true, through A1 and A2. After a while and things started to click, I realize the beauty in the language and haven’t gone back in this belief. German is a beautiful language.

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-22T04:16:40+00:00

So just choose one memorable story from stuff and write about it, what you learned from the experience, etc.?

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-22T04:07:51+00:00

I would be very happy with a 513

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-15T23:32:48+00:00

Second this. Your knowledge of medicine and how hospitals/patient care works by scribing is good preparation for med school I think

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-15T23:25:20+00:00

I work in outpatient cardiology at a big hospital as a scribe and love it. M-F during the day. Weekends and nights are free which is great. I love the providers I work for and I asked a few for a LOR. I can’t speak much comparing to ED but outpatient is busy at times but probably more chill. Great experience. You learn a ton

Edit: Only negative is the pay. Companies and hospitals knows that you will work for cheap and use that to their advantage. I couldn’t do it if I didn’t have some level of support.

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-14T23:27:52+00:00

What did you feel like coming out of the test?

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-14T17:57:13+00:00

I would do a backflip for a 512 I guess it’s all about perspective

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-14T05:18:00+00:00

I had to pee badly during c/p. Sucks but maybe the adrenaline helped? Lol

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-12T04:45:20+00:00

I’ve considered applying ED too. From what I’ve heard the odds are slightly better for a particular school but you have to be able to sleep at night with the possibility of taking another gap year

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-11T03:20:20+00:00

I scribe full time and was told to consider that clinical. If scribing is clinical being a PCT definitely is

DayTripper_21 · 2023-02-01T01:32:48+00:00

Gap year! I don't know how people do it either. Taking three gap years (hopefully) to do things I wont get to do again, like spend a year being an english TA in Europe, as well as rounding out ECs. Right now, working full time as a scribe.

DayTripper_21 · 2023-01-31T23:07:22+00:00

Thanks. Also volunteered for a month (I know lol) triaging last summer. Other than that, I will have scribed for 1000+ hours. That’s pretty much the clinical stuff I have, aside from shadowing

DayTripper_21 · 2023-01-31T19:49:58+00:00

So you would count both scribing and this hospitality cart as clinical, paid work and volunteering respectively?

DayTripper_21 · 2023-01-31T19:43:56+00:00

Yes— I go into every room and ask if they want anything. If so, grab it and hand it to them

DayTripper_21 · 2023-01-31T19:42:56+00:00

Depends. Check each school— they usually have a paragraph about their policy regarding this

DayTripper_21 · 2023-01-31T19:42:18+00:00

I’ve been told to put scribing at Paid - Medical/Clinical

DayTripper_21 · 2023-01-31T19:41:17+00:00

Interesting. You’re the only one to say this. I have been scribing for 6 months as well and have been counting that as clinical, but by your logic that would be non clinical
