CLINICAL EXPERIENCES
Don't think of these as a check list. You really should desire to find and learn about medicine and all of its specialties. Here, quality is better than quantity. Quality experiences consist of face-to-face interactions with patients - not just watching. Of course any experience is better than none, but find those that you can talk and help patients. |

DAT
The DAT is meant to test not only your knowledge of subjects, but also the ability to apply these subjects. While intimidating at first glance, the DAT can be dealt with by knowing what to expect and preparing adequately. |
