this summer i’m volunteering at a local hospital doing clerical work (like putting patient information into medical records/computers & filling etc; this was the only work they allowed for volunteers), do you think it’s a waste of time?



It’s better than nothing but you have to take some initiative while at the hospital and go talk to some patients or schmooze some docs into letting you shadow them. Hospitals are never going to let you do very much. So, you have to find ways to get the most out of your hospital experience.



i knew u wouldnt tell me norcalguy, but ill find out



I graduate in a year so maybe I’ll reveal it then. My next secret will be what residency program I’m in.
