    Love these videos. Every time I take away at least one super helpful piece of information. Added e-shadowing to the list. Thanks Dr. Gray!

    I’ve been a certified nursing assistant (CNA) in a psych hospital since 2016-2021 full time but now I’m doing a part time whenever school is on break. Does that count as clinical hours?

    The guy needs to go DO. Don’t know why with his stats and experiences he thought 12 MD programs would be the ticket?

      @Maddawg31415 2 роки тому +2

      Yeah DO will be the best bet, especially as nontrad. He can apply to a number of MDs as well (preferably with a higher MCAT and some more clinical/shadowing), but only 12?? Eek!

      @@coupleacademia they tend to have lower GPA and MCAT medians for matriculants, and they are also very welcoming to non-trads I am told. If one has good experiences and written materials, DO can be the way to go for many.

      from the way he was talking he's better off being a research scientist than a physician

    I am currently doing anthropological research. Do you think that Adcoms would still group that with other research experiences or do they only prioritize science based research?

    What baffles me is that it's takes like 3wks to get CNA certification. CNA can get you nursing home/hospital/home care CLINICAL experience. Buuuuttttt these "pre-meds" think its bELoW tHeM to work direct patient care & God forbid have title of 'nursing' associated with them

      CNA training depends on the state they are practicing. My daughter looked into it a few years ago and it required 6 weeks full time. They only offered them at certain times in a year and they made the enrollment so difficult she got discouraged. Also I found it expensive to be on a community College. Instead she was able to sign on as volunteer at a nearby hospice and is also on a program for premeds at a nearby hospital that fit better with her schedule and is getting clinical exposure

      Canada is so different from the US for things like this. Its takes 30 weeks (2 Semesters) to become a Personal Care Attendant (similar to CNA I think). And almost 2 years to become a Primary Care Paramedic (similar to EMT in the states). I'm guessing the longer training times for these programs is why clinical experience is not emphasized for Canadian medical schools.

    the issue I have here isn’t even about the clinical experience, but the stats… if you can’t get at least a 3.7 or 80th percentile+, it’s gonna be rough…
