Answer 1

Volunteer at a hospital. They have programs where people can be like nurses helpers, work the gift shop, work in the cafeteria, do transport for patients, take things to the lab...that kind of thing. But you have to take a training class and get some medical tests before you can do it. So go to the local hospitals and ask about this program. It is something that older people like to do a lot, so it will look impressive on the resume of a younger person. Get CPR trained too. That is something different that can help you get some positions in the healthcare field. And when you can get a job, look for something like a physician's office. You learn no matter where you are, so you will be picking up things in these locations that will make you a better, more aware doctor.

Answer 2

local hospital or clinic, also work with emt or paramedics is good training, learning to deal with people in a crises situation anywhere would be good training,,,great career choice, good luck!!!
