My Résumé
Explored options
In high school, there are opportunities to get into a hospital and see how it works. If you have a chance to job shadow somebody for a few days or volunteer at a hospital, I recommend it. You can see how things run.
Once I was in medical school, I worked as a summer student at the hospital in Lloydminster. That was good for me because I realized I liked being in a hospital. After being in the classroom, some people go a more academic route but I wanted to be working with patients.
