In the medical programs category, I list programs that offer high school students the chance to get hands-on experience in medicine non-research related such as learning simple medical procedures, watching surgeries, shadowing doctors, working in hospitals, interacting with patients, and more.
There are very few programs that offer this type of experience to high school students, and I highly recommend them since they'll give you the most realistic look at what life's like as a pre-med student, medical student, and medical professional. If you're unable to do one of the above medical programs, the next best thing is a medical research program. In these programs, you'll be working in a lab and helping with medical research that's in progress i.
Many of these programs pair you with a mentor who works at your location. Also, several of these programs require you to give a presentation at the end of the program. These medical research programs are extremely valuable because, as a pre-med student, you'll likely end up doing lab work either for class or as an extracurricular for your medical school application. If you do one of these programs in high school, you'll be a step ahead of your pre-med classmates.
One quick note: many of these programs are free or pay stipends, but not every program provides free housing. Make sure you check each program's housing accommodations before you apply! These programs are not medicine-specific and cover a wide range of science topics from plant life to space. However, these programs are still very valuable because as a pre-med student, you'll be learning a ton of science. As a part of your pre-med track, you'll be required to take Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, and more.
Doing one of these science programs will give you a preview of the coursework ahead of you. Also, many of these programs are lab work, and, although they're not focused on medical research, they will still give you good general insights into how to do lab work. As I said before, as a pre-med student, you'll likely end up doing lab work either for class or as an extracurricular for your medical school application. If you do one of these programs, you'll be well-prepared to do that research.
These medical programs can be a great experience for many high school students, but they can have some drawbacks. In this section we'll look at the pros and cons of medical programs for high school students. Volunteering and job shadowing are both great ways to participate in medical experiences at your local hospital. You can do them during the school year or the summer. Also, both opportunities are free! As a hospital volunteer, you'll have to apply and likely interview to be a volunteer along with getting a TB test and filling out paperwork.
You'll attend a hospital volunteer orientation and be assigned a specific "job" at the hospital, such as assisting the nurses or assisting hospital visitors in navigating the hospital. As a volunteer, you'll be required to commit to volunteering for a certain number of shifts per week.
You also may have to commit to volunteering for six months or more. Job shadowing is a shorter experience and much less formal. You can shadow a doctor for as little time as a few hours or a day or two.
While shadowing, you follow a doctor around while they go about their normal activities. They may ask you to help them with basic tasks grabbing a chart or taking notes , but probably not. Anyone with an incomplete employee health form is dismissed from the program. Candidates who are not accepted into our program are notified by email in early April. All correspondence, including acceptance and non-acceptance letters, is conducted over email.

They set goals and work towards achieving them. They also build positive relationships that help freshmen become connected to the campus.
