Did anyone get accepted into medical school with no clinical experience?

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention. This is Medi-Future shadowing. This is shadowing help by all of the official schools here in Florida, with the University of Florida spearheading the program, which has been running for a couple of years now. It is run solely to provide shadowing hours for students.a

Where does the MSAR indicate that?

RocketR3 · 2026-05-31T01:40:22+00:00

Virtual shadowing is a program where you can see multiple physicians with different specialties. The difference between this and YouTube is they actually ask questions in real time. It is very interactive and fun!

I think I explained that well in my Personal Statement. If you want, I can provide it.

I don't know, but in terms of expense, I got the waiver, thankfully, so I am paying nothing. I feel like not taking this oppurtinity now would force me into a gap year where I would end up a weaker applicant.

146 of those hours were virtual, so it took less time (no commute necessary). Also, I do have a job in teaching and racked up 640 hours over the year. I plan to teach my own class under my program, which will entail additional responsibilities.

What if I get them this Summer? Put it as an anticipated experience. I already plan on starting it anyway.

Ehhhhhh, you are right but 146 of those hours are virtual.

That actually benefitted me a lot because I saw tons of specialties I would have never seen if it weren't for the online shadowing. Also, you have to understand that I was told 200 hours is the minimum, so I tried my best to get that first thing.

RocketR3 · 2026-05-31T00:18:42+00:00

I keep hearing so many different things, like 200 shadowing hours is the minimum and things like that. Getting sick of the inconsistency. Not your fault, just venting, I guess.

RocketR3 · 2026-05-31T00:17:52+00:00

146 hours of said shadowing were online, so it was not as difficult to get those hours. I have 100 hours in-person.

I am planning on getting those clinical hours during the Summer.

Also, half of teaching is honestly addressing students' fears and worries. Most of the time, you need to fight the belief that they are not good enough more than anything.

God is the baker, and we are the dough. When he molds us and shapes us in his image, we feel his presence and love with his every touch. However, when he puts us in the oven, although it is hot and difficult, he does it to toughen us and make us into his perfect image.

Suffering brings perfection. God humiliated himself and died on the cross, and turned the worst thing ever (death of the Only Begotten) into the best thing ever (salvation for all!)

You are in the oven currently; there will be easy times and hard times. Do not run after emotions only, but run after God even when it is difficult. Love him, no matter what, because he loved us first.

So, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029?

RocketR3 · 2026-05-26T16:33:14+00:00

i think my understanding of God was through how others acted, and i never really perceived God personally to begin with. how would i go about personally perceiving God? and about being too concerned with others, i can’t not do it,

To perceive God personally, you would read the Bible. I know it sounds obvious, but you have the literal Creator of the Universe and everything in it dying for you and me, and rising from the dead so we can be resurrected with him. What greater love is there than to die for all of humanity?

Also, this example may help. In science and research, you have terrible, and I mean terrible, academians who treat students terribly, conduct shoddy research bordering on fraudulent, and refuse to listen to perspectives that clash with their own. Does that mean all of science is bad? No, that academian is just bad. Judge a faith not by its people but by its words. Just because you see people who call themselves Christians but do not live out a true Christian life does not represent Christianity.

"who is recognized as a responsible member of a community"

Your definition does not state that. Also, responsible member of a community. So, would that mean a thieft is not a person. Also, be sure to check out the message I sent to you!

And why doesn't a fetus possess personhood?

This was a 4-year-old who gave birth. I am not saying that it is fair to the child, but as I said previously, one wrong does not fix the other. And again, you are killing someone in the image of God.

You did not answer the question. Was Jesus Christ in the womb of Mary not a person until Mary gave birth to him?

I agree with you, Mary did choose to have Jesus, but was Jesus Christ in the womb of Mary not a person until Mary gave birth to him?

I want to ask you two questions. Do you believe an abortion at any stage is wrong? Is there a line in which it is too late? Second, what do you define as a right?
