<ol>
<li><p>How do i go about getting one?</p></li>
<li><p>What exactly do you do in a medical internship?</p></li>
<li><p>Does it look good on college applications?</p></li>
<li><p>Can i be an intern for a neurosurgeon?</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Call a hospital. Call doctors office. Call everywhere. </li>
<li>Hopefully, if you find a place, they will talk to you about what kind of work you will have to do.</li>
<li>Yes, but volunteering at hospitals in way too common.</li>
<li>Sure. Don’t think you’ll do anything important though. All you probably will do is make files for patients or stock the supply room.</li>
</ol>

<p>After im done interning. How would i have proof that i interned?</p>

<p>If it is at a hospital, they might give you a certificate. If at a private doctor, have them write a letter for you.</p>

<p>So i just call a hospital and ask if they have any doctors that are taking interns right now?</p>

<p>Yes. Simple as that.</p>

<p>You might end up having to call several different people from different departments.
Do you know any doctors personally? Ask them. Things will be a lot easier if you have some friends in high places.</p>

<p>I don’t know if this will help but: I have applied to a Veterinary Internship so the doctors and RVTs told me about general medical internships.</p>

<p>1)Like stated in post two; CALL CALL CALL! I called to about 4 places, and only one called me back. Some hospitals might forget that you called so be persistent but not too much. Showing that you are really interested is a big step forward than just calling once and hoping they’ll call you back.</p>

<p>2)Generally speaking, you don’t really assist the actual doctor all the time, in my case the veterinarian. In my internship, I will assisting the RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician). In your case you will most likely help with the paper work, answer a few calls, and run errands here and there such as: Fetching papers, copying papers, listening to the doctors advice &c. Being at the hospital is a great time to ask questions about how to become a doctor and ways to prepare.</p>

<p>3) Colleges love to see students participate in activities they love doing. Sure, a lot of students/teachers do it but it gives you the euphoric feeling of being in a hospital atmosphere.</p>

<p>4)You can surely ask you’ll like to shadow a Neurosurgeon, the worse the staff can say is no. It’ll be pretty cool do observe a neurosurgeon at work! </p>

<p>I hope I helped you, also I hope you can find an internship that’ll work for you. Good Luck :)</p>

<p>1.If i want to intern in the summer should i call now or wait? </p>

<p>2.Also what looks better volunteering or interning</p>

<ol>
<li>What exactly is research?(A medical one people sometimes put on their college app)</li>
</ol>

<p>1) Some hospitals have a waiting list. When I applied to Veterinary hospitals, the RVT’s told me that she had a students and teachers booked. It’s best to call now and set up an appointment with the staff that handle internships and volunteering. You could call during the summer if you want to, but from my pass experience the hospitals I called were full.</p>

<p>2) Both looks great. For myself as an example, I could volunteer at an animal shelter, and animal control. Both of these can give experience with all different types of animals &c. </p>

<p>3) From what I know, medical research is when someone goes and perform basic research investigations with a mentor. For example, where I live there’s this research at Fort Deterick Cancer Center, and students can help an actual scientist and perform daily investigations. It’s a paid internship. I don’t know what exactly you do, but I heard that some interns prepare slides, make samples, &c.</p>

<p>Is there anything like that around Virginia Beach?</p>
