I recently learned about an opportunity in my city that involves working as a liaison between refugees and healthcare centers. The purpose of the opportunity is to help refugee clients get in touch with healthcare facilities, encourage them to independently access ongoing treatment, maintain case notes and client files, and schedule and accompany them to appointments. So far I have heard that clinical experience usually comes from scribing and by working in a hospital. Do you think most universities will count this opportunity as clinical experience?
Are you working with these people more in a clinical context or in a social work context? It sounds a bit like the latter, which would be more a caseworker volunteering position than a clinical experience one. Still, it sounds fantastic even if not a clinical experience and would stand out imo.
Hey, I'm a freshman and was wondering if a job as a telemetry tech would be better than a pharmacy tech. I'm not banking on either to be my main clinical experience, but felt that they would bolster my application more than say a job at a fast food chain. thanks
It’s hard to say - the experience you feel gives you the best opportunity to make an impact or the best opportunity to understand patient care is likely the better option.

Before watching this video I felt like I was a cracked Pre-med based on my stats, but now I feel cooked 😂
From “cooked to cracked” - Ahmad’s journey. I SEE IT NOW. THE START OF YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT.
For underserved populations, is it okay if my focus group is underserved Asian American populations?
Absolutely! My application centered around Vietnamese and Hispanic populations!
@ Thanks for your reply, Dr. Le!
Thank you for your question! :)
