Hi there!
First off, I appreciate you reading my post. I am a PT student who will be starting a clinical at Cincinnati Sports Medicine in the next couple of months-now known as Mercy Health for Physical Therapy and am wondering if anyone has ever done a clinical at this site and what advice...
Hi friends,
I am currently working in a clinical research lab and dedicate about 20 hrs/week. I will have about 1500hrs by next summer. I currently do not have any publications under my belt, and I have not indicated on my primary that my team plans to submit this upcoming year (although I have...
I'd like to dedicate this thread to general tips on how to dress as a PTA/PT, particularly while going though clinicals. Most sites have dress codes for their students and employees, but in my experience some places are pretty vague and it leaves one stressing over whether they'll be over or...
Hello, so my past three weeks have been spent with trying to find a clinical job. I have applied to probably 20+ jobs and have only received one response. Three patient representative and ER tech jobs declined me via email. I have been looking to enroll in CNA or Medical assistant classes but...
Hi all,
Throughout college I had aspired towards a career in medicine; I've completed all medical school prerequisites, majored in molecular biology, and have an ample amount of clinical/patient care and science research experience to be a competitive applicant. But lo and behold, since I...

Hi everyone,
So I will be a junior in college next year. Although I have other experiences (clinical, leadership, community service, work..etc) I do not have any research experience. My GPA is 3.8+ and I will take the MCAT sometime during January (aiming around 516-519).
I am looking to apply...
Hi there!
I am about to graduate from college and have already submitted my AMCAS. I am a competitive applicant for medical school (3.96 GPA, 514 MCAT with lots of research and shadowing), so I don't NEED an amazing gap year to boost my application. I am currently looking for jobs in the...
Hi all,
I am an incoming M1 who is undecided about which specialty I want to pursue (as we all are.) I have done extensive shadowing an a lot of fields, and from my experiences I have decided that I am leaning toward medicine related fields rather than surgical specialties. Fields like...
So I have been hired as a Summer Research student at a hospital with a renowned cardiologist. I am helping this doctor with this clinical research (dry lab - data entry every day) alongside a team of summer students. The problem is I am not very interested in this specialization and the work is...
Hi i am gonna be employing soon and am trying to decide if i should try to go to schools who offer more clinical or more industry fellowship/residency opportunities. From what I notice schools are either geared towards one or the other for the most part. I am interested in both and its hard to...
I just started a scribing position and will continue it throughout the year. Should I include this as a separate activity, or should I just include it in "Other clinical activities"?
I've had a lot of direct contact with research participants over the last several years and I'm wondering if any of it could possibly be considered clinical. I spent a summer running fMRI scans with participants in a number of different research studies, I have spent a little over a year...
I would really appreciate people's input on whether it is possible to switch out of a physician scientist track in cardiology fellowship (4 year, spot taken outside the match) into a regular 3 year training. I am now realizing that while I still want to have an academic career, my passion is in...

In 3rd and 4th year what resources should I use to nail the wards and also the boards/CK?
Which are clinical books most important to get the most out of rotations?
My rotations are going to start soon so a bit worried about this.
I am currently working at both a vet clinic and in the laboratory of a human hospital (as a lab assistant and the hospital phlebotomist.) I keep the hospital job because it pays my bills, but how much could it actually help me, if at all, when it comes time to apply for vet schools? I understand...
Which surgical specialty/sub-specialization will be best poised to exert leadership in this emerging area of the field, and why is it a cut above the others for the next ~30yrs? Curious what people think off the cuff.
Any evidence you can cite/share?

Hi guys
I'm currently studying for the May 19th MCAT and decided just last month that I wasn't going to apply this year as I don't feel I am ready the app cycle. Especially since I won't be sure what my MCAT score will be.
Anyways, I'm looking for some advice. I hope to apply 2018, which will...

Hello, everyone! I am a senior at New York University, and I am planning to pursue a career as a clinical neuropsychologist. Before applying to any Ph.D. programs in clinical psychology, I would first like to make my application more competitive. Despite my GPA being above a 3.5, I have no...
Hi friends! I will likely be applying in the 2018 application cycle. Needless to say, I have a gap year. I'm looking forward to it, and I was hoping to get some feedback from people who have had a similar situation.
What did you do during your gap year that strengthened your application...

I have experience doing clinical volunteering/patient contact through a mobile health screening van. I also have hospital shadowing experience. Is it still necessary for me to volunteer at a larger hospital? I'm already doing non-clinical volunteering (homeless shelter), clinical volunteering...
Hello SDN!
I am a college senior planning on taking two gap years before entering medical school. I had been hoping to spend my first gap year gaining clinical experience by working as a scribe, however looking at the MSAR it appears that my stats are too low to be competitive at most schools...

Hey guys, so basically I'm hoping to apply this coming summer and I feel like my application is lopsided.
I'm a senior, have a 4.0 GPA, have yet to take the MCAT, and have done 2 summers of research with poster presentations but no pubs. I have very little clinical experience, though, and very...
I will be taking the MCAT in Jan-March, first practice test I didn't do too well but I am not discouraged. I will probably be able to obtain three LOR's by the time I apply but I don't have one yet. I'll probably have a real good one from a physician across the street from me who I have shadowed...
I'm an MS1 looking for something to do with my summer.
I do not want to do research, but would rather do a clinical program (something that involves shadowing or working hands on with patients).
I've seen a few programs, but was wondering if anyone knows of any good ones (specifically ones...

Hi everyone,
I'm currently in my senior year of college and plan on applying to medical school in June, right after I graduate (pending a decent MCAT score). Since I will have a gap year between graduation and matriculation into medical school, I am thinking about what I will do during my gap...
