Comment from : @soul11134

Very useful information What if I end up in average college / university for my Bachelors do I still have chance to crack MCAT and get into med school if I take care of these extra curricular activities

Comment from : @indumathid9894

Ive been trying to shadow a physician but most of them say that they don’t allow it in there hospital as well asked my local clinic and received the same reply if I can’t shadow a physician is volunteering in the emergency room of my local hospital a good alternative
Comment from : @vanessamarquez1259

It is really helpful and informative thank you!
Comment from : @mohammadalquairi6609

Hi Dr S, Do you need a committee letter to get into top schools? Committee letters aren’t always strong LOR, would supplementing the committee letter with other letters be just as good?
Comment from : @lilitinoco8869

I thought extracurricular activities are like hobbies basket ball Or any club could share 😔😔?
Comment from : @Ban-dp4gp

Comment from : @pranav4094

Comment from : @no-de3lg

I'm a D1 student-athlete, thoughts on collegiate athletics?
Comment from : @channinggarnett4760

Does Athletic training count as clinical experience? If I want to be a sports medicine physician
Comment from : @venjaminnefua9267

I've been volunteering at Northwestern Hospital for about two years now(I was forced to be on hiatus for a while bc of the pandemic), and have about 90 hours of volunteering with the hospital The thing is, does my 90 hours of service count since I technically did it when I was a senior in high school?
Comment from : @sabahbacker705

Does Harvard offer nursing programmes
Comment from : @shameikaellis2736

Oh MY GOD This video is so helpful I am an international student Do you have an email in which I could reach out to you?
Comment from : @oceanemassambambe8762

Great video! I was wondering how I could get patient exposure as a pre-med student in college, any tips?
Comment from : @samanthaperez1551

Due to covid and shut downs my research experience was cut down from 10 months to only 4, I'm hoping this won't effect my application too much but I'm still concerned any tips?
Comment from : @taylorkurtz5223

Comment from : @venkataramanvaidehi5181

Would being an EMT count as patient exposure? Asking as a volunteer EMT
Comment from : @cassandrajane7302

Question: Can being a PT tech volunteer at a PT clinic be considered as clinical exposure to patients?brbrThank you very much

Comment from : @zidamv1944

How do you get patient exposure??? I don’t understand
Comment from : @Dylan-jn3dq

Does getting CNA training help fulfill some of the requirements?
Comment from : @hermellakebede859

Hi Dr Shammassian! Your videos are all so helpful! Do you think being a TA for a college course would count as a leadership role?
Comment from : @keeganpeterson6773

I am in high school, currently a freshman how can I do a physician shadowing?
Comment from : @fatimabah5663

Thank you for the great advice Dr Shemmassian! It definitely opened up a lot of ideas since I am just starting my first year of pre-med! br Quick question: How long would you recommend to do EMT volunteer work? Maybe one or two semesters? Also, would that count as both patient care/exposiure and volunteering under the clinical hours?
Comment from : @maanavjariwala7225

Hiii I am in 12th grade PCB student from India It would mean a lot if you guide me through preparation methods specifically focussing on extracurricular Thanking you in anticipation
Comment from : @anantmurdeshwar9173

How much does high school shadowing, research, and volunteering play into the application for medical schools during your undergrad?
Comment from : @tomkunnel411

I'm in my sophomore year of pre med so this information is very useful in considering my options Thank you!
Comment from : @DS-iz9bq

Hello , I just transferred from a small health focused school to a large more liberal arts school and I have a chance to declare a minor ( my major is cell biology and neuroscience) I am stuck between theater, a foreign language specifically German / Spanish and psychology I don't know what to do, I was hoping to pick theater but I'm not sure if that will negatively affect my application/ be useless since theater is not something I want to pursue professionally
Comment from : @verniellove891

How can you get patient exposure?
Comment from : @shanayamiskin7852

Do you have to “prove” that you shadowed those doctors for all those hours?
Comment from : @StrawberryNinjaNibbles

If volunteering overlaps with patient exposure would that be good or do you recommend having two separate experiences for that?
Comment from : @user-lb9zt2be8k

I am in ninth grade right now and I am documenting all my activities and say to myself,"you do nothing for med"😂
Comment from : @keiraalfred2716

Hello! I’m a rising sophomore in highschool with the dream to go to med school and become a surgeon i just found your channel and i’m very eager to participate in extracurriculars/classes that can increase my chance to achieve my dream do you have any resources/advice to give? i also live in a city neighboring stanford and was wondering if there might be any opportunities there if not, is it possible to list out some good places online/in person to do so? i’m willing to do the research :) another question i have is if languages help with college/med school admissions (i speak four languages) thanks!
Comment from : @matcha721

Hi, I have started a non-profit program online that would help raise fund for COVID-19 patients, help the homeless in my local community, plant trees at a small scale, etc Can this help in my med school application? Awesome video btw :)
Comment from : @jia9385

Hii, I'm an international student offering doctor of pharmacy and these terms seem like really foreign concepts and the only time I may be allowed near a hospital to "shadow" or even get some hospital experience is when you're doing your internship Mostly these internships are done between July and august with a minimum of 6 weeks Seeing that PharmD program is completed in 6 years and after each year I go for internship training, Is that alone enough to make me competitive?
Comment from : @shoRts4Rx

But what if we have to work to provide for our families ? I work 40 hrs a week as a waiter to pay bills and help my mom I volunteer at a hospital 5 hrs a week That's all I really have time for The rest of my time goes to working and focusing on my classes I chose to prioritize my grades over volunteering or other extracurriculars and have a 40gpa but the consequence is low extracurriculars Does this mean I am not a competitive candidate?
Comment from : @FutureDocta

Super helpful video! One question though, how important is your undergraduate institution in premed admissions? My undergraduate school isn't the most prestigious, but I chose to attend because of a full scholarship, and numerous opportunities as a premed It always seems like the students getting into the big-name med schools are also coming from big-name undergrads, but is this just a coincidence?
Comment from : @ArvindRajan

plz add subtitles!!!!
Comment from : @fruitystar6085

For your recommended hours for activities, do we have to do all of those things for as long as you recommend, or only some of those activities, but really well if we want to get into a top medical school? For example, doing a lot of research, but comparatively less clinical experience
Comment from : @faridshahid1833

Hi! I'm in high school is there any way I can help during Covid-19 or any online services I can do that will help me for medschool in the future?
Comment from : @Daddywawa

Hi Dr Shemmassian!brI have a question regarding patient exposure I am starting my medical scribe job in a couple weeks and I'm pretty excited However, I noticed you said that clinical scribing cannot be considered a pure patient exposure experience since there is limited patient interaction What activities do you recommend that involve a lot of patient exposure?
Comment from : @AndreasChristodoulou99

I agree and found most of the tips useful, but I do want to add another You mention "few will trade time with friends and families on evenings to do x,y, and z," but I will argue that the time spent with friends and family will ultimately be time well spent I'm not saying to go party every weekend, but to allow yourself to enjoy your premed experience without always thinking of "is this the most productive way to spend my time?" If you constantly hustle, you will ultimately burn out and hate what you're doing instead of being passionate about the changes you make
Comment from : @taybaaziz6190

U talk too slow considering that I talk very fas 😂😂😂
Comment from : @itheo_

Hello I have a question What if you've done a lot of hours only in one year does that mean they wouldn't consider your application because it wasn't a period of 4 years?
Comment from : @mlkyway

do you consider nursing assistant consistently throughout the four years as patient exposure? also great video!
Comment from : @sandrinayousif842

Could you give some examples of how to obtain patient exposure/direct care? I find that around my area a lot of patient care jobs require a certification which requires additional schooling, and outside of that I am not sure what other opportunities there are for direct patient contact
Comment from : @harmeetkaur2742

I am only in high school but i will definitely take your advice to heart Great video by the way!!
Comment from : @jms3827

Does working as a surgical technician count as patient care?
Comment from : @nemoxiv6132

Very helpful
Comment from : @noahsilva1781

I am going to be a freshman in university come fall My major is nursing, in order to graduate I need to do a certain amount of clinical hours, will these hours count as part of my volunteer/community hours?
Comment from : @be7749

I'm a freshman at a community college looking to get into medical school one day Should I wait until later down the line to start thinking about extracurricular activities or should I start now?
Comment from : @dailan45

How do you shadow a physician? Do we just call a clinic and ask?
Comment from : @davisjohn1517

Thank you for the video How can I get direct patient care experience? What are some examples of this type of activity
Comment from : @heran4331

this was an incredibly well informed video Great job
Comment from : @saradomin89898

I work as a Pharamcy tech Does that count as patient exposure?
Comment from : @katherinebrown2841

Can u be my med counselor
Comment from : @kayliehuffman1741

Thanks for the helpful tips! Very useful and I agree with your points It’s all about finding activities you love!
Comment from : @AustinNguyenMD

Question! I’m a part time scribe in an emergency room and have been for over a year now I already have plans to shadow several other types of physicians as well, but should I also look into other types of patient care experience?
