Brief Profile:
First generation college student. Significant upward trend in GPA. Bio major/ Public Health minor. Nontraditional(?) I guess; Currently working in healthcare administration. For confidentiality reasons, LizzyM ~65.
About 3 years experience in a microbiology basic science lab. No publications from this work.
2 years+ volunteering at a free clinic as a clinic assistant (duties involved collecting vitals, interviewing patients, updating charts, etc.) Fair Spanish fluency.
Shadowed (3 months) primary care doctors in an underserved clinic.
Gap year working in health administration/finance as a manager of clinical and research accounts of an orthopaedic surgery practice.
Currently volunteering as a lab assistant in a cadaver surgical lab. Started research on surgical outcomes in a clinical setting with Orthopaedic Surgery faculty/residents I work with.
1 publication in a not-so-well-known journal, but on something on the effect of changes in health administration/structure on patient care.
I think most of my letters of rec were pretty strong, but I know at least one could have been much better.
