I know this question has been asked before, and I have read through a lot of the old threads addressing this issue. However, the area I live in is definitely short on opportunities, and I was hoping someone might have some new ideas for me. So far I have contacted the three closest major hospitals, calling both HR and Volunteer services department. Because of HIPPA, they only offer clinical internships to students affiliated with a professional program. Same thing with volunteering, the only thing they can offer me is clerical work (which I took anyways). I've reached out to the counselors at the local medical school regional campus, and they told me they can't set me up with anything as a pre-med. I applied for a scribe position through iamscribe not too long ago as well. Unfortunately the closest hospital they have is over an hour away from me, and they put my application on hold because I am a current med school applicant.
Right now I shadow about 6-8 hours a week and volunteer with at a hospice. I became a licensed EMT-b in December, and have applied to a few jobs without any success. I just got a list of free-clinics from the red cross today, and I am planning on calling them tomorrow. Anyways if anyone had any suggestions on other avenues I might pursue going forward, I would really appreciate it.
