Medical School Information?

Would it be good to have these certifications listed on your application while applying to medical school? Would it give you an edge or will it just look good on paper?





CPR Level C Certified


MAB Certified


BCLS Certified


ACLS Certified


AED Certified





Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

There is no reason not to list your certifications those are things you are proud of and that you have accomplished. However in terms of an advantage I am not sure that they will provide you one. I am sure there is a great story behind why you have the certifications and that may provide you with an advantage. I guarantee not many applicants are going have any of those certifications.





There is however a downside. During your interview someone might ask you about these certifications and question your devotion to becoming a doctor. The short sweet answer is that you explored other options and you feel you can best serve your community as a physician.





I hope this is helpful! Good Luck!
Reply:I dont think that the certificates will give you an edge. But, whatever you did previously that required you to obtain these (eg, RN, EMT...) probably will
Reply:That'll give you a slight edge in the admissions process. Could be quite useful down the road when you actually practice medicine though, depending on your specialty.
