Paid Clinical Work Experience

Paid clinical work experience is what I would like to add to my C.V.  My current clinical experience has only been on a volunteer basis. Ideally, I would love to get a paid clinical research position because that would look great on my C.V. for medical school. I have been on a search for a clinical position for over a year and a half. Right now I work in a non-clinical position that does not pay very well and is only part-time. In an ideal world I would work full-time in a clinical position, but I am more than open to working part-time. I interviewed today at a doctor's office in Aurora, IL that has both its pros and cons, but I think I want it because they are willing to teach clinical assistants, which is what I would be, how to draw blood. That would be extremely beneficial to know how to do that and be comfortable doing it before medical school. At any rate, I'm leaving it in God's hands now because I only want His will to be done.

Medical School Application Update: I am busy working to perfect my personal statement, so that I can ask for recommendations. I know it is getting late and I feel the pressure, but I trust in God for everything and walk by faith not by sight.
