My current med school lad had Hospice experience. It didn’t hurt him at all. At least, it didn’t seem to. It wasn’t his only medical type of experience, of course.
I fully agree with full transparency. Whenever a student asks me about pre-med I try to present all the cons for them to consider (they already have their pros figured out). I emphasize having a Plan B, costs, and overall odds along the way.
Regardless of career plans I think it’s best if students go in with eyes as wide open as possible. Med school acceptance rates are hardly the only false advertising out there.
