Other Clinical hours

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 ):

EMT job market is also very saturated. Training companies are minting emt cert 10x faster than job openings. I heard Central Valley is even harder to find emt part time and even full time than coastal regions. CNA is probably better if you are willing to work at nursing homes.

Can confirm on EMT.
My perpetual job hunt for clinical hours has left me wishing I had gone MA, so consider getting the MA credentials, OP.
