Research shows that more graduates are opting to take a gap year before going headstrong into applying for medical school. Among the top reasons and benefits…
- The opportunity to boost your undergraduate GPA.
- Time to more thoroughly study for or retake your MCAT exam for a higher score.
- Time to complete prerequisite coursework that your studies thus far haven’t included.
- The chance to shadow physicians and other medical professionals in the specialties you’re considering so that you can better narrow down just which ones you’re most interested in.
- The opportunity to volunteer or work in a clinical setting for real-world experience.
- The chance to get experience in seemingly unrelated fields that actually could increase your knowledge of the medial industry as a whole. An example is volunteering with a group lobbying for legislation that will affect some aspect of health care.
- The chance to travel abroad and learn about medical systems in other countries.
- Time to complete activities that will land you stronger and more numerous letters of recommendation.
- Figuring out exactly why you want to go into medicine so that you can persuasively communicate your desire and goals in written statements required in medical school applications.
