A Few Qs: Does Training Count? Only 1 Research? Nonclinical volunteering Question.
Hello all, I saw some posts on SDN and they prompted me to have more questions regarding my current standing and future planning:
1. As I was getting my EMT cert, I did ridealongs (~50 hours) and did most of the patient monitoring etc. However, I know this is a gray area as it was during my education. Should I add these hours to my clinical employment hours that I have or just leave them off the app as a whole?

3.7 sGPA, 3.8 cGPA but Poor SMP 2.8 GPA
I'm applying to 29 MD schools this cycle. I have all the hours and unique experiences. I have a 3.8 uGPA and 3.7 sGPA but I joined a SMP program and had a family member die my first semester causing me to have two Cs. I've never gotten a C before in all my academic education. The next semester was better with As and Bs no Cs. I will retake those two classes this fall to get As in them and a cumulative GPA of 3.0. My MCAT last year was 496 and this year 508 (125/125/129/129). So it's a...

Promoting Leadership Training in Podiatry
In the United States, there are over 4 million nurses and 150,000 PAs, while podiatrists amount to only 20,000.

These professions are actively pushing for legislation to expand their practice scope, and the pandemic has...
