How to get an internship at a hospital? Or how to shadow a doctor?
Question by climber2: How to get an internship at a hospital? Or how to shadow a doctor?
I am a freshman in high school and I am very interested in getting an internship or job shadowing at a hospital or clinic to help my college apps and to give me some good experience in the medical field. I really want to become a doctor when I get older. Any advice or tips?
I would appreciate any advice (:
Thanks!

Shadowing a doctor is not a job. You contact a doctor and ask them if they would let you shadow them. This is usually a one day only thing.
Interns in the medical field are what first year residence students are called, so you cant do that.
What would be easiest for you to do is to become a volunteer at a hospital.
You wont be able to get a job at one until you graduate from high school. But after that if you really want some experience you could get trained and work as a cna while in college. Medical schools like CNAs
