I will be a freshman undergrad this fall and I am unsure what to do over the summer.
I have been accepted to a summer internship program at a local hospital. I requested Emergency Dept., but after learning that it is more a clerical position, I requested a more clinical position.
I was given therapy (physical, occupational, speech, neuro, etc.). I met with the supervisor and he assured me little to no clerical work, and that I'd be able to work directly with the PTs and patients (setting up procedures, ultrasound, etc.). I like the idea of being involved with patient care, but I am not sure about how much I will gain from a therapy center. I am interested in becoming a Doctor in either emergency or internal medicine.
What do you think? Is this something you see as being worthwhile? While I am not doing it for the money, I do get paid very minimally.
I am also taking an EMT course in the evenings that I am looking forward to.
Thanks!!
