<p>I want to take a year off before medical school, and I was wondering what some possible ideas could be. I was thinking either doing research in a lab, doing health-related work in another country, or maybe doing some with the peace corp or something. Any ideas?</p>
<p>Here is a great website for finding volunteer/gap year opportunities worldwide:</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>see im not sure if you were taking a gap year off because you need a break or you are taking a gap year off to become more competitive? that would change my answer</p>
