Friendly Magpie Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Does this job count in medical school? any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks! I don't see why not. Even jobs that have no medical relevance whatsoever will count. It's all in how you describe them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 count for what? I think it would provide a valuable perspective on how a hospital functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardDegrasseSagan Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I think your wording is confusing. It would count FOR medical school. But don't really think it counts IN medical school (I.e., residence applications). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_ _ Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 for admissions criteria aha Things don't 'count' or not based on their relevance to medicine. Jobs that have nothing to do with medicine are perfectly fine as well. So yes it 'counts', but so would any other job you would put on your resume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes it 'counts', but so would any other job you would put on your resume what I meant is that, if I apply as a ward clerk on a certain hospital, will I get an essential points for medical school admissions criteria? For example, doing clinical research assistant job impacts our chances of being admitted to a great extent. How about being a ward clerk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
App555 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 No doing "clinical research assistant job" does not impact anyone's chances to a "great extent." The medical school I applied specifically addressed things like this. It's not what you do, it's what you learn from it. They gave an example of how someone who learns an second language can demonstrate the same qualities as an Olympic athlete. If this is news to you, check out the u calgary med website.

Both of those things are false.... the title of a position means next to nothing. Its the time you put in, and what you actually DO thats important. Ward clerk is no different than any clerk role, and clinical research assistant is no different than biochemistry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks_14 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 My understanding is that if you are applying to the US then jobs with medical experience do hold a certain weight. But in Canada this isn't true like everyone else has said. I've heard adcoms from UBC say that generally, medical jobs don't hold more weight than a non-medical job.
