If you want to be a Doctor, Medical Schools all look for some practical medical/clinical experience in addition to great test scores and grades.

After college, medical school and residency physicians still need to keep up to date on latest developments. Being a physician is a lifelong commitment. Fortunately, continuing medical education (CME) has become both easier to obtain and more relevant in recent years. In the past, physicians went to expensive out-of-town meetings to listen to hours of lecture on occasionally esoteric topics. Now, I use a website that allows me to search for relevant information. If I have a difficult or unusual case, I search for helpful information. After I read the topic, I apply for ½ hour of CME credit and continue my work.

To get a great opportunity you will need great test scores, internships, volunteering, an officer in a student organization, and more. Not having any experience will make it harder as you will not be accepted and will have a degree that will not have much wait since most Hospitals and the Health Care Industry would want the required knowledge.
