What are some unique medical ec's that show passion but are not something that everyone has.

For example, what can someone do besides:
Shadowing a doctor
Volunteering at a hospital
Research


Also, do you know of any medical related awards for high school students?

Thanks.

I'm going to take a CNA course and work as one throughout college as a pre-med. But, that's not for everyone.
I'd say research and volunteering are your best bets, unless you want to get employed by a local doctor's office or hospital doing a low-level job.

well its not exactly an EC, but you could always help out a scientist in the medical department with his or her research. chances are that it'll be a lot more complex/advanced than anything you could come up with and if its at a good university, then you could always ask for a letter of recommendation.

also, working at biotech companies might help too.

would these things be available for high school students?

Working as an EMT is common, and being a Certified Nursing Assistant is also a possibility.
