I am looking for some sort of academic year internships or community service opportunities in NYC. I was thinking about being a helper at the Queens Botanical Garden but I want something that reflects my interest in the medical field - Joined a volunteer ambulance corps and taking a class about engineering medical stuff. Would volunteering at a hospital or someth suffice?
If you want to do something in the medical field, I would absolutely try to volunteer in a hospital/nursing home/First aid squad to find out if you really like working in the medical field.
