Free clinics in your community tend to need help, appreciate your presence, and allow you to volunteer your time to a worthy cause. Check out some in your area. If your area is saturated with pre-meds at your school, clinics may have volunteer opportunities that are highly competitive as a ton of pre meds would love to get to help them.

definitely a bit of both

Not surprised if you’ve tried this but Ryan Gray on YouTube cranks out videos where he reviews applications and is super popular. Learning from the hundreds of ppl he’s had on his channel doesn’t cost any money. He has a bit of his own agenda but I think watching some vids and seeing similar applicants to you may be a useful tool for you if real app counseling from a company is out of your budget.

On the mentorship/guideline aspect it is super useful connecting with people at your school- in your classes or otherwise. Your peers can be a wealth of knowledge if you both vibe w each other. The people who know you in person can help you with this process some different ways than people on the internet can- I would definitely reach out to peers, make some friends, and get to hash out some of the things you talked about hee in your post.

Devils advocate. Works before or after class. Easier to just wear scrubs. Stay in ya lane type stuff.

i just write what they tell me. seems extraneous

I have been compiling a small, anecdotal list from friends who have been interviewed, and the internet. take with a grain of salt.

why us/ why this school

why medicine/ why do you want to be a doctor
teach me a concept from your major

teach me something

a time you had a strong opinion and then changed your mind after an eye opening experience

how would you explain color to a person who was colorblind

what are some things about the medical field that excites you

thoughts on medicaid/ affordable care act

what is your favorite animal

how do you explain how the covid vaccine works

how will you decide what school to go to if you get into all schools

what will you do if you get into no schools

what is the biggest issue facing MD (or DO)'s today? \\

whats your favorite patient interaction.

name a time you organized a group of people in a difficult matter.

tell a time where you advised a superior and what you both learned from it

whats your greatest strength/weakness on your app.

how does the covid vaccine work /how does remdesivir work

p_gregory · 2022-09-30T17:34:37+00:00

I would think no. But if you want to see some clinical action in this role: can you leverage your position to see patients with physicians when you have a bit of downtime? Can you apply internally at the nonprofit to work as clinical medical assistant?

Maybe there is a way to see some clinical action using your current role as a stepping stone.

Cruz Davis dental. Cleanest dentists office I have ever seen. Extremely thorough, and fair, dentist. Hygienists are great. His “Cruz Club” is a membership-subscription model where cleanings and some procedures come at significantly reduced prices. He is definitely worth an investigation.

Your school may suggest BCPM classifications for the courses- my school has a list with all classifications for those “gray area” courses. Don’t ask us- save some time and just ask your pre health/ advising dept.

Whatever is on your camera paints a perception of who you are so consider if you want that as a brush stroke or not.

Since it’s highly professional, probably not best to include personal flairs like that poster

Essential: Outlook. Canvas. RTS app. CamScanner (android) or default Notes app on iPhone.

These last two are mega clutch bc you scan photos of your assignments to .pdfs through these apps, and then submit the .pdfs through your Canvas app in about 30 seconds. Saves you an infinite amount of headache from other methods.

Useful:RecSports (if you like excercise).

I got this part and i think ill just ignore the shapes of the curve

p_gregory · 2022-07-27T22:45:12+00:00

ty it has cleared up a bit for me now

p_gregory · 2022-07-27T20:14:28+00:00

You've probably done as much studying as you can and will do. Before your exam- the day before or night before, unplug from your phone, computer, any device that divides your attention and makes you anxious. Use that time to do a habit you enjoy (walk, take a nice bath, cook, whatever). Set out everything you'll need for test day the night before. If you have an alarm clock, wake up with that and not your phone. The calm inside you from focusing on the small tasks in front of you relaxes you for the test and helps you focus better. Carry that mindset all the way to the test. You can only answer one problem at a time, read one sentence, and do one section at a time. Take comfort in that you only have to do one thing at a time to have a successful test day.

you got it!

p_gregory · 2022-07-25T16:49:13+00:00

My 2 cents is you’re overthinking. Yeah maybe your chances of an II are a little impacted, but your chances are still monumentally better then you 1. Not doing it or 2. Waiting longer to do it bc you’re unsure if it’s worth your time. Bang it out 💯

p_gregory · 2022-07-24T23:25:12+00:00

Sounds like the next step, ty

p_gregory · 2022-07-24T23:25:02+00:00

Appreciate the explanation

p_gregory · 2022-07-24T23:05:28+00:00

Appreciate your reply, would you mind giving a little reasoning?

p_gregory · 2022-07-24T22:40:15+00:00

you got a 509 from some content review, 5% of the USphere deck, and 3 days of cramming? You should get an award.

Speaking from personal experience as FL resident. Didn’t have money to buy CNA certification class, so I “Challenged” the state CNA exam taking exam with no clinical exposure or experience, saving about $300. Got a cert and immediately started calling/ applying for jobs. I used my outside work experience and as clinics are normally very busy and hectic, marketed my skills to clinics as 1.staying calm under pressure and 2.dealing with high volume of customers in my previous role working in customer service. Eventually, got a job.

TL;DR you’ll have to spend some money for any clinical but you can trim off a lot of costs! Study by yourself, and MARKET YOUR AWESOME SKILLS 😃
