Volunteering at a hospital in the Nursing Unit (this summer throughout senior year; 4.5 hours per week)
I volunteered shadowing a scientist for probably 100+ hours last summer
-Chartered my own club this year and will be president. This club is for diabetes/health awareness. We will fundraise and such for research
-Was in a science program/journal club at the medical school i researched at </p>
<p>I am just afraid of my lack of hospital volunteering.... however, does research help? I feel like the reason why i didn't have time for hospital volunteering was due the demanding research hours. Also, I was accepted into a shadowing doctors program at a hospital, but had to deny the opportunity because of research conflicts. Please chance me, thank you! </p>
