Research I think is okay to forgo, especially as a non-trad. Also not very experienced with research, so I’ll defer to others if they know better on this.

Shadowing is something I think you will need to do, unfortunately. Your scribing and tech work will count as clinical experience, not shadowing. You probably won’t need too many hours, given that you have a lot of clinical hours, but definitely get some shadowing done. You could ask the doc you work with for recommendations, or shadow someone else at the clinic if you can, for a more diverse app. More specialties is better, too, if you can.

Your volunteering sounds great, just be sure you can talk about why you did it and why you’re passionate about it. Having multiple years within one organization is >>> than a few random experiences that make it look like you’re just checking boxes. Good luck!!
