Volunteering question?

[HCW212]

Hello,

Sorry if this has been already posted, but do you think it is better to volunter at one hospital/medical ceneter/clinic for a long period of time, or volunteer at numerous places for a shortened amount of time. Again, if this has been posted, flame away.

I also had a similar question. Does anyone know a good website for volunteer opportunities? I've seen some, but they are all similar to what I did in high school, such as patient discharges, lab deliveries, etc, and nothing more.

Thanks.

So this doesn't directly answer either question, but just find something that you're interested in and really want to do. Doing something you're passionate about will (I think) always look-and be- better than doing what you think the adcoms want you to do. So to answer, I guess I would think doing one volunteer thing for a long period of time would look better, but doing multiple things to find out something you really love is good too.

I would suggest several things until you find something that you enjoy, drop the fluff and stick with the EC's you enjoy for a longer time....
