In #medicalschooladmissions, we cannot overstate how important it is to have strong clinical experiences. In our latest series, we discuss these clinical experiences - why they matter, what constitutes a clinical experience, and how to get them. Check out our first post in the series at the link below. #DOadmissions #MDadmissions #MDapplicants #DOapplicants #medschoolapplicant #applypoint

Being a founder has this weird and often difficult contrast. It’s this strange combination of both being a slog and being exhilarating. Maintaining that exhilaration is both a function of endurance and, I think, an essential skill, as it powers your most valuable asset: agility. Late last summer we kept hearing from our academic medical center partners that they were struggling with onboarding and retaining new clinical research workers. In a matter of 1 month, our team launched and developed a pilot program with one of these sites - a major hospital system. Today, one quarter later, they’ve signed on for the year and 5x+ the revenue. It's these types of wins that keep that exhilaration alive! #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch #research #healthcare #healthequity

Thinking about a career in research? Maxine, who works for NIHR BioResource at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, shares her journey to becoming a clinical research practitioner (CRP) and why she's excited about the future of this new research profession. "As a CRP you are an expert in research - a research professional. You're not a nurse, you're not the expert in patient care but you bring the research expertise and that means healthcare professionals can focus on clinical care," Maxine explains.

The Overlooked Specialists: A Call for Recognition in Public Health It’s both surprising and disheartening to witness a situation where a doctor, who has dedicated additional four years to an internship or residency in public health—much like their peers in other esteemed specialties such as cardiology or hematology—finds themselves unrecognized by human resources as a specialist. This lack of acknowledgment raises serious concerns about the value placed on public health as a discipline. Public health doctors play a crucial role in safeguarding communities, preventing disease, and shaping health policies that impact millions of lives. Yet, despite the rigorous training and significant contributions they make, their expertise often goes unnoticed. This oversight not only undermines their professional standing but also diminishes the critical importance of public health in the broader medical landscape. It is imperative that we rectify this injustice. Public health specialists deserve the same recognition and respect afforded to their counterparts in other medical fields. To disregard their qualifications is not just unfair—it’s a disservice to the very foundations of our healthcare systems. I would be keen to hear your perspectives on this issue and how we might advocate for the recognition that public health specialists rightfully deserve. #PublicHealth

"The Intersection Between Public Health and Clinical Laboratory Professional Identity" 🔬 I recently attended an eye-opening session with the APHL - Association of Public Health Laboratories on professional identity in Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS). Professional identity in MLS is about our self-concept and role perception as we navigate our careers. It involves how we see ourselves and our work, our commitment to the profession's values and ethics, and maintaining high standards of practice. This identity is shaped by education, work environment, professional interactions, and the broader culture of healthcare. Key elements include: - 🧪 Technical Expertise: Mastery of diagnostic techniques and specialized knowledge. - 🔍 Ethical Standards: Upholding integrity, patient confidentiality, and quality control. - 🤝 Collaboration: Partnering with healthcare professionals to deliver critical diagnostic insights. - 📚 Continuous Learning: Staying updated with advancements in medical technology. - 📢 Advocacy: Promoting the importance and recognition of our role. - 🌐 Professional Networking: Engaging with peers and professional organizations. - 🔄 Reflective Practice: Continuously improving through self-reflection. - 🌍 Public Health Impact: Contributing to broader health initiatives like disease prevention. It was an eye-opening talk that reinforced the unique and vital role we play in healthcare. Thank you Dr. Rodney E Rohde, SV, SM, MB (ASCP), FACSc, for this valuable session! 🙌 #MedicalLaboratoryScience #ProfessionalIdentity #Healthcare #PublicHealth #LabScience #ContinuousLearning

For a strong W&A section, you’ll want to highlight both clinical and non-clinical experiences. Your non-clinical experiences are an excellent way to demonstrate some of the traits and characteristics that will lead to your success in medical school, while also showing some personality. Check out our blog, linked below, for a few of the non-clinical experiences that medical schools love to see! #medschooladmissions #medschoolapplicant #FutureMD #applypoint
