Hey y'all!
I'm entering my Junior year of college, and I just wanted feedback on my ECs and what I should do this next year before applying to Med School.
-Summer of 2012, I shadowed 3 different types of doctors(orthopedic, weight loss surgeon, cardiologist) for 7 weeks and a total of about 150 hours.
-I'm currently volunteering at a hospital in the emergency department. I started this past spring and have about 50 hours so far, and will continue this through the rest of undergrad. I expect to have about 150 hours by the time I apply.
-Summer of 2013- Shadowed a rheumatologist and general practitioner for 80 hours
-Non-clinical volunteering: Took notes for a person in my class with a disability(considered 25 hours) this past semester. Have helped set up campus road races(~10-15 hours)
-I'm going to be the President of the club cross country and track team this year, and have been on the team since freshman year.
-Part of an ethnic dance team, Fall of 2011 to present. We perform twice a year at different events.
-I have been playing piano since 2001. I have performed at 20 recitals, 7 guild competitions, and a few small events on campus
-Have been part of a campus ministry and bible study since freshman year
So how does that look so far and what else do you think I should try doing this year? I tried research this past spring for a couple weeks, but I really didn't like it and dropped. I thought it would be stupid of me to do something I don't like just to put it on my resume. Hopefully not having research won't hurt me too much...
