What did you guys do as ECs?

<p>First year undergrad student here and I'm trying to get involved in some Extra Curricular activities. I am trying my best to get some jobs at hospitals, but a lot of hospitals are filled. </p>

<p>What kind of things did you guys do? Shadowing, clinical research, paper work, etc. I just want to get some ideas for things I can potentially do. Also how important are EC's in the application process. I do want to get some shadowing done to see how I would enjoy the medical field and get a hands on experience. </p>

<p>Any ideas, suggestions, etc.</p>
