7 Reasons Why the Right Type of Hands-on Clinical Experience Can Change Your Life
1. Insured hands-on clinical experience is required by most medical education institutions prior to further consideration;
2. Clinicals add practicality and real life application to theories;
3. Clinicals increase your confidence, competitiveness and marketability, which in turn increases you chances of being considered for medical college or medical residency interviews;
4. High scores on MCAT or USMLE is no longer enough; its the minimum threshold. Clinicals and resulting recommendations can be used to differentiate two candidates who scored high on standardized exams;
5. Medical school and residency programs have become very competitive and have the luxury of selecting candidates with ample US clinical experience;
6. With AmeriClerkships you can gain this essential experience and receive Letters of Recommendation (LOR) upon successful completion of your clinical blocks in order to strengthen your candidacy to which ever field of medicine you plan to commit to;
