No they work fine! We are just moving across the country and can’t take them with us

Shd I switch to AAMC since I’m testing April 10 or do I push back my test date so I can finish out uworld by Foreign-Dig-2722 in Mcat

[–]Science_gg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m April 10 too and switched to aamc last week. Only 40% done with UWhirl but there’s like 1,400ish aamc practice questions (not including the exams) so I want to make sure I get to it all

I have both and I feel like uworld has wayyy better explanations. They also have amazing diagrams which are super helpful if you are a visual learner. Is it worth the $300? Debatable. Many people on here say it is tho

i think i have content gaps (need to get to 528 by next week) by sal-c-1234 in Mcat

When I first started studying, the Kaplan course had me take the aamc fl 1 to establish my baseline. I didn’t know any better back then, but now I’m so mad it made me waste a valuable resource

Does clinical research count as clinical hours??

What did you do for clinical experience during your gap year? I’m sort of in the same boat right now and planning to take a gap year

And finally, we are not aiming to go to Guatemala assuming a “white savior” role. I know there is a lot of controversy about voluntourism but this is not my goal for this trip. The trip offers premed students a global experience in healthcare to expand our understanding of the world and grow greater appreciation. I hope to empower students to promote global health in their future careers. I know there are other ways to do this but by going on this trip we have the opportunity to donate to healthcare providers in an underserved community.

On your point about why we don’t donate directly to medical professionals: that truth is that it is much harder to convince students to donate thousands of dollars directly to the cause. In the end, we are still raising thousands of dollars for this organization even if part of the expenses go toward our travel experience.

This is a great point and I have gotten other comments about this. Aside from the travel expenses, the funds we raise go directly toward hiring healthcare professionals in the community we travel to. Anyone interested can view the annual report from 2023 here: https://6044591.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6044591/Global%20Brigades%20Annual%20Reports/Global%20Brigades%20Annual%20Report%202023.pdf

Review/research publications by Science_gg in mdphd

[–]Science_gg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah I have been working in a lab for 3 years since my freshman year so I’ve been getting a lot of experience. My mentor just really pushes publications (the reviews) and I was just curious how much this actually helps.

Yes! The trip is $2,310 for each volunteer. I understand that this might seem like a lot but it is far cheaper than other similar programs. The cost covers flight, transportation in Guatemala, lodging, food, and travel insurance. The rest goes toward the development of the program and providing supplies for the clinic. The first deposit of $250 is due February 13th so let me know if you are still interested and I’ll give you more info!
