During my research experience I met with a lot of patients and made informational flyers and info on free clinics in the area because a lot of our participants are underserved. The research itself is about cancer and chronic disease. Can I split this into two separate activites one is research and then handing out guidelines is community health advocacy?
Unsure of how many schools to apply to.
ORM, MCAT: 508, 3.8 GPA,
Clinical hours: 500 hours, Paid employment (non-clinical): 3000, non-clinical volun: 200 hours, research
Schools:
PCOM, Rowan, NYITCOM, VCOM-VA, MSU-COM
is this a good list, are these good schools? The tuition is crazy high tho :////
did not practice at all, just going straight in, hate this dumbass typing exam
AAMC Definition: Community Health Advocacy encompasses a broad range of active efforts focused on improving community or public health outcomes. Examples may include advocating for improved access to health resources or services; public health education or awareness campaigns; policy- or systems-focused initiatives related to health care delivery; community-based programs addressing health conditions or factors that affect health outcomes; or organized efforts to improve health outcomes for specific populations.
while working as a CRA I created flyers about cancer screening timelines and had a tabling event where we spoke to people about our research project + handed out a folder with the guidelines. I also did the same with free clinics locations.
Would these count as community health advocacy? or should I just have this underneath my clinical research entry.
