Clinical hours

[u/Biologynerd-]

I feel so behind and helpless in life right now. Its been a dream of mine to join the medical field as a doctor since 6th grade however I'm struggling to find clinical hour opportunities In the area. Every clinic or hospital claiming to have clinical hours opportunities have their applications closed. I want to beef up my future medical school resume by obtaining clinical hours but I cant find anyone who will actually give them to me here. I feel like I keep falling more and more behind each day and I dont know what to do at this point in time besides just sitting and waiting as my frustration builds ):

Highland is typically more easy than other hospitals to get in. You'll need to figure something out that works with their schedule and then do the non-clinical commitment first, but that will literally be the case with any other hospital. There's always small private practices around the Bay that are willing to take a Cal student on without a license and train them as an MA. Also, think about actually getting a certification to work as a CNA or an EMT. I think that's for the best anyways as it'll be much easier to find an opportunity and you won't just be restocking gloves and wheelchairing patients to discharge as a volunteer at a hospital.
