<p>bumppp!!!</p>
<p>I just don’t understand, I never remember looking for internships as a high school student and I always see hs kids looking for advice finding them. You do not do internships in high school unless they are sponsored by a university. </p>
<p>The only thing you can do is see if you can shadow a doctor. You will just follow him around and see what he does. However, this is also usually done by college students. Not high school students. Get a job working at pizza hut or something, do some ec activites, and leave the internships to when you are in college.</p>
<p>Doctors are busy, they don’t just want kids that MIGHT be interested following them around. If anything they want kids well on their way to pursuing Med School.</p>
<p>When I was in high school, kids volunteered at hospitals and walk-in clinics. Of course, you won’t be paid. Contact your local offices.</p>
<p>^^This is your best option. You will get to see what goes on in a hospital, although when I volunteered I never really got to watch any doctors, which is what you seem to want to be doing?</p>
<p>Seriously, just volunteer at the hospital or a walk-in clinic. I love it, and I get great volunteer hours. Remember, only do something if you actually want it, no point in wasting a summer toiling away for no reason. These are precious summers before we all grow up, and move out! ;)</p>
<p>If you work at a walk-in clinic, expect mainly clerical duties. If you’re a Spanish speaker, it’s very beneficial, at least it’s helped me with our demographics. I’ve done like every job except fill prescriptions and see patients. I’m 16, and I’m considerably younger than all other student volunteers (think like 5+ years). Act very mature if you are reasonably young like me, otherwise they won’t exactly like you. I have shown true interest in helping my community by being a translator, file-researcher, verifying bills, ckecking people in, getting large groups of volunteers get situated/started on work, scrubbed bathrooms, cleaned windows, take out trash, audit files, organize storage facilities, and ridding clinic of old/useless meds or monitors. It’s a fairly tough job, but I work harder (while enjoying it, we’re like a family 
) than like 90% of the volunteers (who are older and looking for careers in medicine) so my co-workers know that I’m fully committed.</p>
<p>If you don’t like the sound of this, you can always contact a professor at a local state uni to conduct research on a topic you actually like. I don’t have that luxury, so I decided to help the community a bit :P.</p>
<p>volunteering at a hospital/clinic and shadowing a doctor are good options and you’ll probably want to keep doing that even in college as well. but most importantly take challenging math and science courses and do well in them(APs help). Get an overall good gpa (you’ll be studying for at least the next 11 years of your life). an internship is not necessary.</p>
<p>or do research</p>
<p>i did cancer research for awhile (thinking i’d be premed)</p>
