Am I Doing Enough?

I’ve recently completed my first semester at a formal career changer post-bacc and I’m unsure if I’m doing enough to prepare for the eventual application to medical school.

My post-bacc EC’s are the concern. The EC’s I am involved in have been fantastic—I’m volunteering at my local hospital with patient discharge and escort and I created and maintain a catalogue for the library of this hospital’s cancer department. I also have a few hours of shadowing with an oncologist and plan to seek out more opportunities with other physicians.

Otherwise, my post-bacc grades have been flawless, relationships with professors are solid, and I can’t be more excited about the classes I’ll be taking for the remainder of the post-bacc.

Before the post-bacc, I did do a few medically-related activities in college. I administered surveys to patients in a hospital as part of a research project and, later in college after a transition to a psychology major, conducted brain imaging studies on psychiatric patients. Neither research opportunity led to a presentation or publication.

My other activities in college involved leadership positions in a sports club and a humanities club and in-game commentating on my college’s basketball team during live broadcasts.

What do you guys think?
