I only see 40 hours of nonclinical community service that is not tutoring. Is this correct? This low number of hours puts your application at risk of getting screened out before interview.
 
This is correct.
I hope that my patient care tech hours with such a close role with patients helps explain that I want to be with patients
Personal statement and activity descriptions are very patient-focused
Considering IU ED!
