What can a high school student do to prepare for a medical career?
Is there anything a high school student can do to start preparing for a medical career? Do med schools look at your high school career at all? Does volunteering help? If so, what kind of volunteer work is there when it comes to the medical field?
Thanks in advance.
Oh, one more thing. Would it help to start reading medical books and what-not to better prepare yourself for the MCATs, even though they are years away?
Can anyone recommend any books to read to help prepare myself? It doesn’t matter to me the level of difficulty the book might be or anything, so really anything you can recommend would be helpful.
Again, thank you in advance.
I’m about to begin the admission process for medical school. The best thing you can do in highschool is to prepare yourself for your undergraduate work in college. I’ve worked as a paramedic, and that experience helped me confirm that medicine was the route for me. You might consider taking an EMT course and spending a little time working on an ambulance or in the ER. This could give you a little hands on experience to see if this is really what you want to do. When you get to college, talk to the pre-med or pre-health advisor. They can show you the requirements for pre-med. Study hard and get good grades. The average GPA at most medical schools is very high, 3.77 at the school I’m applying to. Also, take a review course for the MCAT. They are expensive (around $1500) but they will make a huge difference in your performance. Any volunteer work is good. It doesn’t have to be in the medical field. Any community involvement looks GREAT on you application. I hope this helps you out a little bit. Good luck!
