<p>Hi Everyone,
I'm interested in going to an 7/8 year combined medical school program, like Brown PLME. Everyone has told me to find a way to show a strong interest in medicine. I know that a great way to do this is to do something like doctor shadowing or volunteering in a hospital. What are some original ways to show my interest in medicine?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>hi! i’m a rising senior and i’m interested in a 6/7/8 year program as well. i’m not sure what these schools look for obviously, but a couple of things i’ve done are volunteering at several hospitals (georgetown, nih children’s inn, my local hospital), pursuing biomedical research at walter reed, interning at a nonprofit health care advocacy group (i’m really interested in health care reform)…i’m also particularly interested in helping children with autism, so i’ve done volunteer work with autistic children over the summer and help coach tennis w/ special olympics. i hope that helps! but if anyone actually in these programs knows what to do or highlight, that would be soo helpful.
:)</p>
