Good jobs for pre-meds?

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>I have decided to work over the summer instead of doing research (there arent a lot of research opportunities near my home so I will be researching throughout the year). What are some jobs I can apply for as a premed? I want med schools to believe I actually did something this summer..</p>

2

<p>Teach MCAT for Kaplan or Princeton Review.</p>

3

<p>I'm a freshman =\ ( I dont think I can do well on the MCAT yet alone teach it at this point).</p>

4

<p>Go to a community college, get the certification to work as a LPN. </p>

<p>-> I believe you have to have a 32/33 minimum before you are considered to teach for a review program.</p>

5

<p>A nursing certificate? Can you even do that over one summer? In any case it's probably not a good idea, since the training will likely take more time than you actually get to spend doing anything. Look for volunteer opportunities in a hospital.</p>

<p>He was looking for a job so I assumed he needed a job, and LPN would be paying and he would get some clinical experience. Also an ER tech is a good job too (once you get the certification). But if he doesn't need the money, I love volunteering/shadowing in the ER. I get see so much because the doctors have gotten to know me over my time their.</p>

7

<p>well I plan on volunteering and shadowing during the afternoons and it would be nice to work full time during the day (lets say from 8 to 4, etc) and make some money (though money is not really a priority).</p>

8

<p>you could work at Best Buy or something?</p>

9

<p>haha, I already applied there like a few hours ago :D Good call.</p>

<p>Anyways, I'm going to read up on ED Tech cause it sounds very interesting. Does anyone have any info on it? Whats the certification process, etc.</p>

Education Overview for Emergency Room Technicians:</p>

<p>Education requirements for emergency room technicians vary depending on state regulations. Most hospitals require emergency room technicians to become certified. In order to become certified, students must complete a medical assistant program. Some students have to complete a certified nursing assistant program if they are going to be directly under the supervision of a nurse.
