I have wanted to gain experience in biomedical research for years now. Embarrassingly, I have been unsuccessful. (Granted, I was not a science major and am in a city filled with science majors. Lots of the hospitals screen applicants with the question, "Do you have a BS in biology or a related field?" There are many universities in the area with biomedical labs as well.) With a few exceptions, I have only taken intro level science classes.
What are some of the most important things I can do to begin to make myself useful (and sought after for lab assistant positions) in biomedical laboratories? If part of the answer is to take classes, which classes are likely to be the most beneficial?
