  Now you know what 4 types of extracurriculars premeds ABSOLUTELY must have. For 7 of my favorite extracurriculars that turned real premeds into real doctors, graduating from UCLA, UCI, GW &amp; UCincinatti, you’ll want to watch this video - &quot;I Asked 12 Doctors What Got Them Into Med School” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAAXIomRHAc">https://youtu.be/oAAXIomRHAc?si=kEoW3YuLz3pWa6iB</a><br><br>If you’re struggling more with clinical experiences, then you’ll want to dive deeper into why certain clinical experiences are mediocre and why other stand out. I talk about all that in this video here - “These Clinical Experiences Don’t Stand Out” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAPppWGEFNA">https://youtu.be/NAPppWGEFNA?si=eUlLvQ_tNxgJgTpm</a>

  This is a great review. Love that you include the data. I really get my undergrads to concentrate on the story they are telling and how everything relates in some way to that growth. Great video!

  My mother experienced a cranial aneurysm in 2009 and it was repaired in a clinical trial. I have not been able to find anyone at my university that does research on aneurysms. I have joined a biomedical engineering lab (they utilized a new biomedical engineering device with her aneurysm) and a neuroscience lab ran by a neurologist focusing on movement disorders… this is the closet I have gotten. Is this a good enough connection? Should I keep looking?

  Hi! I’m currently going to a community college and plan on transferring to a university to earn my bachelor’s. I’m also a combat medic in the Army and our scope of practice goes up to around paramedic level. We’re required to get an EMT license as well, so after I finished my initial entry training, I started working as a part-time EMT immediately. My plan was to take a gap year before I transfer to a university, after my associates, go on a 6 month deployment as a combat medic, and do paramedic school. My main objective for this is to try and get into the Chicago Fire Department for my clinical experience, which I think would be &nbsp;invaluable for me as I’m currently interested in emergency medicine. I was wondering if you thought taking a gap year was a good idea since I’m already a year behind my peers due to my Army training, as well as the possibility of me losing my study habits or forgetting some content that I might need to catch back up to for my future classes in university. Would love to have any sort of input, thank you.
