Volunteer Chances?

<p>If i'm going to be doing a premed track how are the research opportunities, hospital clinical experience chances and availability of doctor shadowing? And where should I go to get help in finding these chances?</p>

<p>Of what I know right now, there is Raggedy Anne and Andy that is pretty competitive to get into (mostly a waitlist). There is also the ability to volunteer at Cottage Hospital down near State Street. They require 4 hours of volunteer work a week and it must be 4 straight hours. Its a small bit tough because it goes from 8-12, 12-4 pm, 4-8 pm, and 8 pm-12 am. The bus schedule doesn’t fit very well with 4-8 pm and 8 pm-12 am as the last #3 bus needed to get back from the hospital to the transit center is at 7:48ish.</p>

<p>As for research chances with professors how difficult are they to come by and also how difficult is it to get a publication related to your research?</p>
