Are volunteers ethically allowed to do this?
I volunteer at a free medical clinic for low income and uninsured individuals. My position is in the back office, where we call patients in from the waiting room to interview them and record basic vitals in their chart before they see the doctor. I ask the patient's birthdate to confirm, then take height, weight, blood pressure (automatic), temperature, and record respiratory rate. On rarer occasions I do finger pricks to test blood sugar for diabetic patients, or ask female OBGYN patients a...

Bad GPA. What should I do next?
Hello everyone,
I live in NYC and am a nontraditional application here. I had a tough time during undergrad and graduated in 2017. I have a cGPA 3.1 and a sGPA 2.8. Took the DAT and got a 22AA (22PAT, 23QR, 20RC, 24B, 23GC, 19OC, 21TS) but felt that I could do better with more practice. During my undergrad years, my parents actually fell sick twice, mom with breast cancer twice, and dad from multiple heart attacks from stress eating, then got diabetes and was uncontrolled, etc. That led to...

Potential Volunteerism include or not
I know this forum has a pretty strong opinion on medical volunteering abroad. I have a one week, 35 hours, experience abroad where I worked with US trained nurses to educate the local population on the basics of hypertension and diabetes, using posters and information from pubmed. There was also one day where we checked blood pressure and blood glucose and got the, again, US-trained nurse to look at the patient, recheck the results, and, refer to the clinic we worked with. I believe I didn't...
