<p>Hey, im going to be graduating high school in a few weeks and am heading off to Northeastern U for the fall. I am interested in pre-med, and would like to start building my resume now. What jobs in a medicine-related environment can I get? So far the only one ive seen that's really hands on is a transporter which ive already done in the past. Any other jobs?</p>
<p>EMT maybe. A tech or records job perhaps. The problem is most hands on medical jobs require training and you don’t really have that much time to train and then work in a single summer. Maybe you could work for red cross or blood drives?</p>
<p>If you’re lucky, you could be blessed from above with a physician’s assistant job. But as mmmcdowe pointed out and I’ll just restate, “The problem is most hands on medical jobs require training and you don’t really have that much time to train and then work in a single summer.”</p>
<p>No jobs here, period. None, zero. When in college, get job on campus, they are easier to get than outside. No summer jobs for college kids with incredible recommendations and perfect GPAs and actual job experiences in the fields that they are looking. No retail jobs, no fast food, no any kind of dirtiest and least desirable jobs. Thank goodness that most of them have opportunities in college.</p>
<p>celtics fan, im asking myself the same thing; unfortunately, i’ve come to the same conclusion as the two posters below you</p>
<p>i will try phlebotomy b/c it’s a relatively quick certification process (1 summer probably), but hospitals aren’t going to hire a college kid to stick patients just in the summer, so i don’t have high hopes for that</p>
<p>it is somewhat impractical for a premed to get a meaningful medical job b/c of the training and time commitment (EMT is intense), so I’d just look for shadowing opportunities and volunteer in a hospital when you can; maybe try summer research (medical or non-medical -> doesn’t matter)</p>
