Jobs I had before I was a doctor 👩🏻‍⚕️

Before I got accepted into medical school I had MULTIPLE jobs, both relating to medicine and not. It was a great way to get experience, make money and add to my resume, so here are some recommendations:

- tutor- I had been a tutor since high school!

- medical scribe ( I worked in the ED, great experience)

- medical assistant ( I hated this job but it was also great experience )

- my favorite job was working at boxing and spin studio! such a great environment.

Hope this gives you some job ideas !

... Read moreBefore pursuing my medical degree, I dived into various jobs that provided me with invaluable experience and insight into different fields. Working as a tutor helped me enhance my communication skills, vital for patient interactions in the future. My time as a medical scribe in the Emergency Department exposed me to the fast-paced medical environment, increasing my understanding of clinical practices. Though my experience as a medical assistant wasn't my favorite, it allowed me to gain hands-on experience with patient care, which is crucial for any future physician. One of the highlights was working at a boxing and spin studio, which taught me the importance of staying fit and healthy—a key principle I carry into my medical practices today. Experiences like these not only filled my resume but also laid a solid foundation for my medical career. If you’re considering a future in medicine, take time to explore diverse job roles; they can offer insights and skills that will be beneficial throughout your journey. Whether tutoring, working in healthcare, or engaging in fitness, each role enhances your capability and perspective as a physician.

How did you get the jobs without a BLS certification?? I’ve been applying for jobs at Baylor but they all say you have to have a BLS certificate even if I can somehow get it later on

Could it be lupus? What to know BEFORE you see a doctor
You’ve been tired for way too long. Your joints hurt. You feel off. You’ve gone to the doctor… and left with no real answers. Here’s the thing: Lupus can be sneaky. It mimics other conditions and hides behind vague symptoms. And many people (especially women) go years without a diagnosis.

How I landed ALL my jobs through cold applying… 🤫
Every single one of my post-grad full-time corporate marketing roles I’ve held was landed via cold applying with my resume on LinkedIn. And to make things more shocking, most of them were also via “Easy Apply” where I simply submitted my resume (and maybe asked a few identity related questions).
