What made you choose to go into medicine?

I am currently a sophomore in highschool and I am wondering what are some solid extracurriculars that revolve around medical? I am currently in the IB programme and trying to maintain high grades, but I don’t think my grades solely will be able to get me into a good university. Another question...

I am specifically very interested in pediatrics and senior care. I dont have any job experience but need to start somewhere.

Do people take their frustrations and anger out on you? I'm asking because I'm a pretty sensitive person.

I want to know how to best prepare for college and my future career and I don't want to waste time.

How do I find more hands on opportunities in the med field as a sophomore ? Where and who should I go to for mentorship and guidance other than people on line.

I am in 10th grade at EOC charter high school

I've heard that there are many options open like working in OBGYN or Pediatrics or even in Dentistry and Aesthetics.

I am finishing up a healthcare administration degree, and need only to complete an internship before I graduate. I'm having a difficult time finding one, and am not sure where I can look to have better success.

I’m going to be a highschool senior and a want to know what courses I should look out when applying to certain schools.

So currently I am taking college courses while I'm in highschool. Which is amazing by the way, but I feel like I need to do more or learn more to get on the medical path ahead of me. Is there any classes I take at school or online to learn a little bit more information.

Recruitment tips, extracurriculars, etc.

I would like to try my hand in this field. I am certified and just looking for some experience in the field.

Is the medical field a safe place for nonbinary doctors? I know some professions can be a hostile place for LGBTQ+ people
