I am 19 years old, planning on attending college this coming fall for pre-med. I was wondering if there are any certificates I can get to get a part-time job at the hospital doing hands on work. I volunteer there regularly so it looks good on my resume. I'm not very good with the elderly, so I'm not looking for a CNA. Please help so I have a job in the medical field until I get my *** into med school and graduate. Thanks, guys!

The best place is to talk to your local community college for their CNA program. Also, talk to the individual hospitals and nursing homes for where their CNAs get their training.

Emergency Medical Technician will be the best. You get to use respiratory apparatus, do first aid, and even help deliver a baby. You'll be trained less than a year and take a test for it. EMT is a requirement for physician aide. They get paid $20 tops for basic EMT.

Ask your school if they offer the class HSTE (Health Science Technology) its a very good class that once finished with, you may become an approved Nurse, EMT, or Pharmacy Technician :). Otherwise, I say to continue to volunteer at the hospital. :)
Hope this helps :)
