Experiences & Opportunities
Experience Log - Use for tracking and recording pre-health experiences
Keep track and reflect on all of your experiences outside of the classroom: shadowing, research, health related volunteering, community service, study abroad, campus involvement, internships, paid employment, etc. As you participate in all of these experiences, you are also learning, growing, and changing through your participation. By the time you apply, the professional schools expect that you have reflected on your experiences and can articulate what you’ve learned through them.
