<p>What EC's did/are you doing, if you want to go into medicine? I am curious, because all I have is one sport. My school doesn't offer any sort of club that could help, or any type of activity. I was thinking maybe outside school.</p>
<p>What kind of medicine?</p>
<p>I know some kids who are working with a large local research company, they’re actually working on their OWN research project, trying to publish. I’m GUESSING they had an idea and ran with it. </p>
<p>Any “mentor” programs in your area where you can find a company that would allow an internship of sorts…within the field where you wish to study? I know it’s early to be sure, but…do you know what area yet?..but…life sciences, physical therapy, biology research, a family doctor…?</p>
<p>I can think of about 3-4 places in our city right off the top of my head that I’m guessing either has that type program in place, or would at least entertain the thought of volunteers. Ask around, send some letters??? </p>
<p>If not anything exactly like that…what about just some general volunteer work? Any “free clinics” that need errands run? Anything to get your foot in the door.</p>
<p>Volunteer at a nursing home, hospital, or anything else that you think might be beneficial and you enjoy doing. You could also try something like the Red Cross or Habitat for Humanity.</p>
