Can anyone giv me examples of "Medical Related EC's"

Applying to College
1

<p>I was planning on applying to some accelerated Med programs and I heard that Med related EC's are what they are interested in.</p>

<p>so far I have
Volunteer: Patient transport UmassMemorial Hospital
Volunteer: Sports Medicine
Shadowed an Orthopedic Surgeon
Teddy Bear Clinic
Conducted Research on the Effects of Lead on Bacterial growth (med related?)
And i am getting a job in a hospital also</p>

<p>Does anyone know any other med related EC?</p>

<p>I was thinking about starting a "Future Doctors of America Club," in which students would discuss the types of doctors, current day epidemics, have fundraisers to help certain diseases, engage in heartwalks, etc. Does anyone have anything like this in their school?</p>

<p>We have a Future Physicians of America Club; I think that's basically what they do. Sounds good :)</p>

<p>I honestly don't think you need any more ECs. Colleges don't like to see laundry lists; they like to see passion, and it appears that you've got that down. Instead of having 10 medical-related ECs and spending maybe 1-2 hours per week on them, have 4-5 and spend hours on each of them :D.</p>

<p>What kind of doctor do you want to be?</p>

<p>At the moment, I was leaning towards Sports Medicine or Cardiology. Then again, I am told that many change their minds in medical school :D</p>

<p>You have a lot more than I do!!! I only volunteer at my hospital....:(</p>

<p>Yeah, I guess you should keep your choices open :)</p>

<p>Oh, what about shadowing/helping out the athletic trainer at your school? That sounds like fun :)</p>
