Clinical Jobs/Certifications for Pre-Med Students?
Hello everyone! Hope y’all are having an amazing week.💫 I’m a sophomore in college studying neuroscience and currently looking for jobs or internships that offer clinical experience. I’ve heard of positions like medical scribe, but I’m not sure it really gives the hands-on experience I’m looking for. I know a lot of clinical jobs require certifications, but I’m not exactly sure which ones are worth pursuing. I’d love to hear suggestions from other pre-meds or anyone in healthcare about: Jobs that actually provide meaningful clinical experience Certifications that can help boost a pre-med application Any internships or paid roles that don’t require prior experience but still count as clinical Any advice or insight would be super appreciated. Thank you!! 🙏🏽 God bless you :)
What's my next step for the summer as a rising senior intending to major in pharmacology if most are not available?
Following up with my previous question on what part time job I can get for pharmacology, I tried applying for a pharmacy clerk position at a local Walgreen. However, Michigan law (where I'm at) says that we must have a high school diploma to get a job at a pharmacy. Same with most hospitals: most prefer if you are in college or have at least some medical experience. I am still waiting for a couple internship summer program results. I'm also trying to reach out to local college professors, research centers, and small pharmaceutical companies if they would let me intern over the summer, but I'm not so sure if they would take me in. I do have a great volunteer work though! Been going at it for the last couple months at a blood donation center :) Any other suggestions on what I can do over the summer to prepare myself for college?

What psychology related jobs can you do as a teenager?
Hello! I am fifteen, sixteen in less than a week, and I want to be a clinical psychologist. I love helping people, and while I'd do it for fun. I want something that I can put on a resume or application, especially (but not specifically) if it pays. As someone who struggles with my mental health as well, I know what it's like and it's easy for me to empathize with others. I'm also taking AP Psychology, and I get decent grades, mainly B's with the occasional A, but overall I have a weighted GPA that's over 4. The issue isn't that I don't want to do the research, but that most things relating I what I want to do, rightfully, are for those eighteen and up. It's understandable, because the profession can be very draining, but I still want the experience, not just for college, but to help more people. Is there anything I could do?

Recommended environmental science related volunteer opportunities ?

I've done some beach clean-ups and volunteer work at nature centers, but I feel like I could do more. I was wondering what environment/nature related volunteer opportunities would be a good idea?
What suicide hotlines can a 16(soon 17) year old join ?
What suicide hotlines can I join as a 16 year old? (Turning 17 in late-march) I am bilingual, I speak both french and english. This expands my reach of possible organisations out to canada (that being said, I'd personally want to avoid France because I'm rather disconnected from french/european culture as an American migrant). I know that there are some organisations out there that do provide opportunities for 16 year olds. After a ton of searching(like a month worth), I have only found 2 that I can actually join: https://samaritanshope.org/our-services/hey-sam/volunteer-with-hey-sam/ https://calyouth.org/ I have applied to both but I'd still like to apply to more just in case. Every organisation out there either doesn't accept 16 year olds, or doesn't provide online tutoring/work. It has been so incredibly unsatisfying to find an organisation that had a low minimum age bar yet was located on the other side of the US. If it helps, I live in San Fransisco. So the only possibilities are: 1. Organisation that's very close to SF and does accept people of my age(I looked through all of them as far as I know) 2. Organisation that offers online training and work for people of my age either in US or Canada(More likely)

What are some good programs or volunteer oppotunities?
I'm currently in 9th grade and have been volunteering since the summer before 6th grade. I want to work with children in the future so my volunteer work is mainly centered around that. I have done workshops and other things where I get certificates at the end and more. Though this I feel as if most of the workshops aren't really centered around the field I want to go into. Because they are not really centered around my field it seems they are unimportant. Overall what are some good opportunities for workshops, volunteering etc that can help me work towards the field I want to go into.
