volunteering for hospitals, where or how should i start?

Question

I am in the pre-med program in my college. so i want to volunteer for hospitals during my spare time. but i'm really lost about the whole system? what should I do? where do i start? what should i tell them? what kind of work should i expect?

Answer 1

Every hospital has a well run volunteer program. If you call, or even drop by, the general information desk they can tell you about the application process. You will most likely be given a wide range of oppurtunities to choose from: gift shop, nursery, delivering flowers, game room helper, etc. The coordinator will ask about what your interests are, so tell them you are pre-med and want to see what the nuts and bolts of a hospital is all about.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Many hospitals have an established volunteer program. Check their website or ask someone in a department that interests you if you can volunteer.
