scissortail Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Quick question, in which catagory does research project (like a fourth year project) fall under? It's not really a job, nor leisure, nor volunteer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc2B Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 You could put it under the section that discusses awards, publications, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb35 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 You could put it in medically related experience if it was medically related. But if its a project thats finished and presented, you could also put it in awards. Could I put my thesis under both medically related AND other? Waddya think doc2B?

scissortail Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 My project was in biological chemistry, so basic science research. Is that close enough to be "medically relevant"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 by medically related they mean any thing "within the field of medicine"....I don't think biological chem research would be considered within the field of medicine. But thats just what I think, get more opinions on this. Hope you're applications going well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissortail Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Arghh Dal application is so weird, they should have a section for research related activities. I think i'm going to put it under publication/award maybe. I did finish this project and presented it at poster session already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavrik13 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I've found my research projects to be directly medically related, so I included them there. However, they also take up a good portion of my essay, where I believe its also important to include them. You could certainly stretch the meaning of 'medically related experience' though. It certainly is a weird application, but its making the best of an outdated admissions systen.

MaeFleur Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I chose not to put in research that hasn't been published yet, since there is no place for it on the application. Maybe I should have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Notyet Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I was thinking since biochemistry is in the Faculty of Medicine, and basic medical research is a field of medicine, this would fall under this category if I got paid for the research work or volunteered (but I wouldn't include Honours since it is neither paid work or volunteer). But if it is medically related work, then it should also be listed under the jobs category? What do you guys/gals think? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
