List of Experiences

For this section, list up to 15 experiences that affected your life or decision to pursue this healthcare field. These may include (but are not limited to): volunteer activities, clinical experience (volunteer, shadowing, paid), laboratory research, employment, leadership roles, etc.

For each experience, provide a title, start and end dates, total number of hours, name of organization, location, contact information for a person who can verify your participation (when possible), as well as a brief description. List your experiences in chronological order, as this is how they will appear on your actual application. Please be sure to follow the guidelines for the format and character limit provided by your application service.

Consider the Core Competencies for Entering Medical Students when writing your experience description. You should use your description to explain how that experience either taught you or allowed you to demonstrate one or several of these competencies.

If applying to allopathic medical school (AMCAS), you should identify at least one and no more than three activities that you consider to be "Most Meaningful." For these experiences, you are allowed an additional 1325 characters to explain why you feel this experience is meaningful.

Your experiences should ideally include only activities you have undertaken post-high school. There may be some exceptions made for on-going experiences, significant awards or achievements related to medicine or similar instances.
