Hello all,
I am a student from the US applying to medical school in the UK for 2018 graduate entry. In the US, we don't have a section for work experience so I was wondering if anyone has tips for filling this out properly? Any help is appreciated and good luck on your apps!

Once you have the experience(s) then you can emphasise what you did, any skills you used and what insight about heath care you learnt from it. You should try and get the balance right and not over egg it to make it sound more important than it was, but you should emphasise the relevant benefits.
Post on the medical forum or use the TSR search feature to look at what previous people applicants did.

It's common for school leavers to leave this blank and is only really important for mature applicants.

Should I focus on my healthcare / medicine specific positions or should I list all employment?
I have years of experience working in healthcare and research so this could take some time

The work experience section on ucas is ONLY to list paid employment.
