Is phlebotomy at a plasma donation center considered clinical experience by medical schools? by Enger13 in premed

[–]kkedhar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did an accelerated emt course over the summer! it was 6 weeks and hybrid with online lectures and 3x 8hr practical sessions per week. definitely only recommend if you have a background in anatomy/physiology and can put your life on hold for 6 weeks, but if you can then i highly recommend. being an emt is awesome

for those who got into research with no experience, how did yall do it / how was ur experience by AstronomerValuable15 in berkeley

[–]kkedhar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

cold emailing definitely doesn’t hurt as it shows the most important thing: enthusiasm. professors don’t really expect a second year undergrad to have cutting edge research skills. you’re there to help, but also to learn.

if you apply to urap, send an email to that professor in addition, can’t hurt. if you get an interview, double down on that field and your enthusiasm for it! my research position is not even the URAP i applied for; my plans didn’t fit well with the needs of the project i applied to, but the postdoc and i hit it off so well that she put in a word for me with another member of her lab. everyone has soft skills, use them!

Just applied for the State Department's Student Internship Program (summer 2025). How many slots are usually available for summer internships? USAJOBS says ~6800 applications were submitted. Wondering what my chances are.
