I'll be graduating this May(BS in Biology/Chemistry) with close to 3.5 GPA (both overall and science), and I will be retaking MCAT (2nd time) in the Summer and applying for the first time afterwards. I volunteered in nursing home last semester and currently volunteering at a local hospital (ER Department), but I still wish to build up on my clinical experience as much as possible before going to med school. So, I have an extra year (or more) to do as I wish with my bachelor. I want to be exposed to the medical field as much as I can during my time off and was wondering what would be the best option(s).
My wish is to work in the hospital as opposed to doing research (I did research last summer but did not enjoy it). My question of interest would be: what jobs in hospital could be attained with minimal requirements (and shortest amount of time) with my bachelor? I've been gathering information about PT/PTA, CNA, EMT, and I'm most interested in EMT out of the those. I've also searched through opening spots in my local hospitals and the ones that appealed to me are Phlebotomist and Medical Technologist.
To recap; I want to work in a local hospital (with bachelor requirement if possible) while volunteering during my year(s) off before ultimately stepping my foot into the realm of the elites in Med School.
Again, I'm not looking to improve my application with these jobs, but rather to gain life experience and knowledge to whatever I may be confronted in life in the future. Thank you for your time
