Guest np2008 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I still have a while to go before applying to medical school, but just wanted to have some things cleared up in advance. I was wondering how far back the activities listed on our resume can go, i.e. should be list important activities that we did back in high school? My high school had a very strong social experience program which involved community service at places like Under-5s clinics, orphanages, senior homes etc in rural India. I also shadowed doctors in an outpatient department for a couple of weeks just before my senior year of high school. I consider some of those experiences quite important in helping me choose my career path, so would it be appropriate to list these activities in my C.V? Or are they only looking for my work and volunteer experiences during my undergrad years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arjuna83 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hey, In general, anything you did after age 16 is fair game. You should, however, place more emphasis on the activities you did during undergrad. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest np2008 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks! I will try and put more emphasis on the volunteer work and extracurriculars I do during my undergrad, but I'd like to at least put down the fact that I have shadowed doctors whilst in high school because I probably won't do that again. Cheers, NP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
