Non MD degrees for a bio loving kid

she can find out about other careers at http://explorehealthcareers.org

Even though she may be bio-loving, careers in medicine are involved around helping sick people which is not exactly the same thing. Insist she get a volunteer/paid job this summer (at least part time) in a health-care setting to see if what she has made her mind up about is really a fit. At the start of April she has plenty of lead-time to set something up.

This experience, BTW, is an unwritten requirement for med school admission; they won’t take someone that hasn’t shown they know what they are getting into. You can find more about this and lots more guidance about preparing for med school at the great guide by Rhodes College at https://www.rhodes.edu/sites/default/files/PreMed_Essentials.pdf
