Welcome to the forums. Thank you for your service to our country.

Shadow doctors and make sure this is what you want to do.

Will do, thank you for the advice.

Are you fluent in Spanish ? Before you submit your application you should accumulate 50 hours of in person physician shadowing (including primary care) and 150+ hours of clinical volunteering (the hospice volunteering would qualify).

If you are planning to apply this spring, make it your priority to get the extracurricular activities you need to make your application well rounded.
Aim for 40 hours shadowing, 100-150 hours at your planned hospice site, and pick some nonmedical charity, food bank or volunteer work for another 100-150 hours.
Without these components, despite your good grades, a reader will look at your app and think, “where’s the shadowing & volunteering?”
Good luck as you get ready to apply
