pala2006 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I am starting the supplemental but the pre-requisite list states 2000 hours of direct patient care. I have around 650 hours and another 1200 in research which was medical lab work. Are they strict with the 2000 hours, and does it all have to be directly with patients? Anyone get interview with less hours? I'm trying to decide if I will be wasting the supplemental $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pala2006 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Nevermind, I called admissions and they said research associate hours do count even if it doesn't involve direct patient contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ooh, would you know if "research" includes genetics research? as working in a lab with plants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q4zhang Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 You probably should call them and ask just to be sure. I did breast cancer research with molecular biology techniques and they counted it toward the hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
