While medical schools need to see clinical experiences in your W&A section, they’re also looking to see non-clinical experiences that highlight your abilities in critical thinking and innovation, teamwork and collaboration, leadership, and empathy. The roles that we highlight throughout this week will demonstrate the wide-ranging experiences and qualities that you have to offer to your medical school community.
Hobbies: Hobbies are not superficial. Yes, your medical experiences, volunteer work, noteworthy club positions, and academic accolades are going to outrank this in the W&A. But, you have fifteen unique entries to fill, and you want to show different dimensions of yourself. We believe a hobby is a must in a W&A.
