hi everyone,
I'm a pre-med from Canada with a small dilemma:
I would really like to get some kind of job-shadowing/volunteer experience within the medical profession (allopathic). The problem is that the town I live in (the largest within about an hour's drive) has a great hospital but no volunteer program. the smaller hospitals don't have any either. I have tried doctor's offices but I keep hitting the same wall-the issue of confidentiality (people around here aren't too comfortable with a pre-med sitting in,etc.) My main reason for doing this is to get a better idea of what I'm getting in to and perhaps to make contact (may come in handy for a letter of recommendation!). What else can I do, any innovative ideas?? Thanks a lot!
