My daughter will attend Rice, makes all A's and is smart, disciplined and personable. She loves Tennis and excels at it. She may want to be a sports doctor.

How about working in the local YMCA, a fitness center, a physical therapy or rehab clinic? Although she would most likely be in some type of administrative support capacity, once the staff knows her interests and abilities, they will probably take her under their wing and provide her with some interesting exposure to fitness training/injuries/rehab.

Having gone through it all, my experiences working as an EMT were extremely helpful and much of what I learned was not taught in medical school until my residency. (I went to a trade school over the summer break) I only regret that I did not become an EMT sooner. It was much, much more useful than volunteering - even in volunteer programs that are designed for pre-medical students.
In your daughter's case, she may also benefit from being a physicial therapist assistant...I think there might be some cross over in being a sports trainer if she were to go down that line. It requires her getting an associates degree, but she may be able to accomplish this simultaneously while doing her undergrad work - the credits could cross over in both directions both with a CC and an University. This is decidely unconventential but with a 10% admission rate to medical schools, standing out is not a bad thing.

As with any job, it's always so much better when you ENJOY what we're doing. As for your daughter, maybe she should meet with the Sprorts Team Doctor at her University and see if she can work for him as his assistant in all the sports. She would get excellent practice, first hand knowledge and the jump on all pre med students. If nothing else prehaps she could work in his office. Good luck to the both of you.

Are you asking what a good job is while she is in school? Or for after she has recieved a medical degree? I am assuming you mean for now, while she is in school. She should get a job in a science-related field. She could work in a laboratory or at a zoo or aquarium. Medical schools like to see students who participate in internships, which means she may not get paid, but she will get a lot of great experience. I would suggest she ask a professor or her advisor at school if he/she know of any internships that are available to students. If it helps, I interned at a Biotech reseach facility during the summers (I got paid) and volunteered at our local aquarium when I was going through my pre-med studies.

Tell her to volunteer to visit people in the hospital. Call the church to find names of people who need someone to show a little concern. This will improve her bedside manner as well as helping her to find an area of medicine she can be passionate about. Doctors are often unable to relate to the fear and suffering of their patients. Encourage her to develop the capacity for compassion before she gets to med school where they will try to discourage it,

Possibly the ideas of being a surgical tech, paremedic, 911 dispatcher...all these things could be useful to her to reach her goal and get hands on experience.
